Rain and puddles bring out other Amphibia, even in the desert. It’s a strange, stirring, but not uncommon thing to come on a pool at night, after an evening of thunder and lightning and a bit of rainfall, and see the frogs clenching to the edge of their impermanent pond, bodies immersed in water but heads out, all croaking away in tricky counterpoint. They are wind bags: with each croak the pouch under the frog chin smells like a bubble, then collapses.

<span>(It warms the very sickness in my heart)

When Laertes says this, it shows that there is an element of disease already making its way into his heart. Because of his father and sister's deaths, he has become sick, which reinforces the theme of decay and disease so prevalent in the play. </span>
