Question:

Hamlet . . Act 1?

How would you describe the mood of the opening scene of Hamlet? What helps establish the mood? And What do you think helps Halet to overcome his fears and follow the Ghost?

Unfortunately Shakespear isn't my thing. I'm trying to complete an assignment on Shakespear, but i'm on homebound so i can't ask my english teacher. It's a paper on Hamlet and these questions have to be answered. Thank you.
