Because there was no backstage during Shakespeare's time, actors who were not involved in the scene stood next to those who played, and did not hide anywhere. So, in this scene of the dialogue of Hamlet with Ophelia, the viewer of Shakespearean times sees in kind not only the characters who are on the plot, but also their “doubles”: “Hamlet-2”, and “his mother” in really black clothes, and “still alive”, the King who has not yet been poisoned. We should not forget that with the same text, the viewer of the production of Hamlet of the Elizabethan era (the time of Shakespeare) does not see at all what the directors show the modern viewer, and that we read in Hamlet, whatever publication it may be.
