It's very revealing to watch how quickly Hamlet's dearest friends deceive him when given the command from that grotesque king. Even his longest, closest friends, Guildenstern and Rosencrantz had no reservations in their trickery. Then the love of his life, Ophelia, tried to pull the same bologna on him! What kind of people are they to deny everything they know about their comrade, Hamlet, at the drop of a single suspicion? They should have gone to Hamlet themselves first out of concern before even having to be asked by the Claudius and my dear Gertrude. Loyalty is obviously not an overwhelming trait in Denmark.
