4. Claudius says "How right he is! His words whip up my guilty feelings. The whore's pockmarked cheek made pretty with make-up is just like the ugly actions I'm disguising with fine words. What a terrible guilt I feel!" I enjoy this little mental note that Claudius makes because it shows something genuine from him and it gives the audience a better barometer of his character from himself and not just the talk of the others.
6. Ophelia says "My lord, I have some mementos of yours that I've been meaning to give back to you for a long time now. Please take them." This shows Hamlet has shown his affection for Ophelia in not just a verbal way, but with a tangible item, but when Hamlet is confronted he says "No, it wasn't me. I never gave you anything." because he is trying to hide what he truly feels about her because he is behind a facade of being insane.
