Cladius and Laertes

In ther conversation between Cladius and Laertes on page 213 - 215, Laertes dominates the conversation with his anger. Cladius keeps egging Laertes on. Laertes runs in with a mob of people and starts screaming at the king. He almost kills Cladius, but Cladius knows he won't and plans everything out in his head. It seems that the conversation goes fast whenever Laertes speaks beacuse he is overcome by anger and just wants to kill Cladius. Yet the small little questions Cladius asks, he asks them slowly. The conversation seems pretty fast beacause there is so much tension between the two, even though Cladius plays it off so cool. When Ophelia comes running into the room and starts being crazy, Laertes is heartbroken and devestated that his sister his become so mad.
