&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
The offstage character &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Baptista&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the wife of [[Gonzago]].  She is mentioned by Hamlet in Scene 9.  ([[Scene 9#222]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role==&lt;br /&gt;
In the context of the play-within-a-play, the &amp;#039;Mousetrap&amp;#039; / &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Gonzago&amp;#039;&amp;#039; play that is, Hamlet&amp;#039;s mention of Baptista is part of the analogy by which Claudius is likened to the &amp;#039;Mousetrap&amp;#039; play&amp;#039;s murderous villain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Costume&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; - not applicable, since Baptista does not appear on stage.  In the mind&amp;#039;s eye we picture her as an Italian duchess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Name==&lt;br /&gt;
Hamlet speaks of Baptista while sitting beside Ophelia.  The name, Baptista, by the sound of it, suggests baptism, which is done by immersion in water.  Ophelia will die from immersion in water.  None of them has any idea of that when Hamlet speaks.  The name is an &amp;quot;omen&amp;quot; that goes unheard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Lines==&lt;br /&gt;
Baptista has no lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Themes and Motifs==&lt;br /&gt;
Those most relevant to Hamlet&amp;#039;s mention of Baptista:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Omen]], and [[Putting on a Show]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The name is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;ominous&amp;#039;&amp;#039; for Ophelia, and Scene 9 is all about &amp;#039;&amp;#039;putting on a show.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On Stage==&lt;br /&gt;
Baptista is never onstage.  Hamlet speaks of her in [[Scene 9]].&lt;br /&gt;
