bait mehhhh

okayyy so in hamlet there are several different instances of baiting. First of all baiting is a term that has a similar meaning to bait....as in fishing bait. Like its something put out there, and there are prolly strings attached/alterior motives that go along with it. One instance that comes to mind is when Claudius and Gerty decieded to fetch R&G--hamlets bff's-- to go and "check up" on hamlet and make sure he wasnt going insane/mad. This use of baiting changed the relationship shared by hamlet and his mother and father (claudius and gerty). Distrust was created between the 2 parties and this was upsetting to Hamlet.
