When rosencrantz questions Hamlet again about the cause of his distemper what does Hamlet say is bothering him?
In Act III Scene 2 Rosencrantz asks what is the cause of Hamlet's distemper and Hamlet says that he lacks advancement. Rosencrantz asks how that can be when he is named as heir apparent. Hamlet responds by referring to an old saying, "While the grass grows, the horse starveth." by which he means that the promise of a future benefit is no use when there is a present need. He then gets very angry indeed at Rosencrantz for trying to ensnare him with conversation.
