There is a play tonight before the king
One scene of it comes near the circumstance
Which I have told thee of my father's death.
I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot,
Even with the very comment of they soul
Observe my uncle. If his occulted guilt
Do not itself unkennel in one speech,
It is a damned ghost that we have seen,
And my imaginations are as foul
As Vulcan's stithy.

When Horatio meets Hamlet what did Hamlet say about the food?
"Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables."

Fortinbras then orders a funeral for Hamlet.
Why does Hamlet say 'words words words'?
Polonius has just asked Hamlet what he is reading. Of course what he wants Hamlet to say is the name of the book. But just to be irritating Hamlet responds "Words, words, words."

At the opening of secene 4 in Hamlet what was the weather like?
Hamlet perceives it as deathly cold. Horatio says it's nipping - we'd now say "nippy" - and that the cold is penetrating, and sour. Horatio's word "eager" is taken as "aigre," a word which means "vinegar." So the idea is, Horatio is saying that the cold air is sour in a sharply penetrating way. Consider the air on a warm, springtime day. That air is "sweet" - pleasant and nice to breathe. The idea of "sour" air means the opposite - air which is not pleasant to breathe.
Who knows Hamlet is only acting insane?
Horatio, Marcellus and Bernardo have heard him say that he "will put an antic disposition on", but neither they nor can any member of the audience be absolutely sure how much of Hamlet's insanity is put on and how much is real. The question forms one of the eternal debates about this play.
