-They often spy on Hamlet and then inform the King of what they learned from talking to him. 
-They are somewhat loyal to Hamlet, but they fear the King's retaliation if they don't do what he wants them to, so they are more loyal to Claudius. ]]> 2020-01-07 16:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/ActII/wish/428507721 https://padlet.com/meyaek/ActII/wish/428510517 • Madness is grief oriented
•After seeing the ghost, the madness becomes vengeful but he is unaware

The pretend madness feeds into his vengeful madness.
