7!. Not sure though I think it's Hamlet speaking to his father, the deceased King of Denmark!.
8!. This is Hamlet speaking to Ophelia!. He scares her by his bahaviour here!.
9!. This is the piece where Claudius is prompting laertes to use an uncovered sword, the tip of which has been poisoned in hius duel against Hamlet!. If Hmalet is killed, Laertes could be said to be anenging his father's deathj at the hands of Hamlet!.
10!. I guess this is about Ophelia when her body is discovered among the weeds and grass when she commits suicide!. It could also refer to gertrude who drinks the cup of poisoned wine destined for Hamlet, but I'm surer that it is Ophelia being referred to here!.
