How does Ophelia's guilt and tension of her strange song infect the atmosphere of the court? 

It is obvious that everyone is uncomfortable...especially Claudius and Gertrude who may pick up on the sexual hints tossed toward Hamlet.  Laertes also is thrown for a loop here since he can't seem to wrap his brain around how a young woman so sane one day can seem so nutty the next.  He has lost so much--his father and now his sister, it makes sense why he decides to plot with Claudius to avenge his losses.
