What does claudius and gertrude speaking to rosenctantz and guildenstetn about hamlet appear to be and what is the reality?

Claudius and Gertrude pretend to be worried about Hamlet, while they actually want to see if Hamlet is up to something.

Explanation:

In Act II, Scene II of Hamlet, Claudius and Gertrude tell Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet's friends, that they are concerned about his behavior. They allegedly think that Hamlet is sad because of his father's death, and are hoping that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would be able to improve his mood. While they appear to be worried about Hamlet, they are, in fact, trying to spy on him and see if he is up to something. To Claudius, Hamlet's behavior is very suspicious, and he wants to discover the truth behind it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
