Summary

In this quote from Shakespeare's play, Hamlet and Osric have a brief exchange about the appropriate use of a hat. Osric comments that it is very hot, to which Hamlet disagrees, stating that it is actually cold due to the northerly wind. This humorous disagreement reveals Hamlet's wit and sarcasm. The conversation then shifts to an important matter - a bet that someone has placed on Hamlet's head, to which Hamlet interrupts and urges Osric to remember, indicating that he is eager to hear the details. The exchange with the hat serves as a lighthearted moment before shifting back to the significant plot.
