Yes , you need a capital letter for the beginnng letters of the divisions in a play. The acts and the scenes have the first letter capitalized. The numbers may be written as Roman, I-X for example. Or they may be written Arabic style, as 1-10 for example.

In the offchance that you still need this answer, my teacher said it was comic relief.
What Scene 2 are we talking about here? It must be Act 1 or Act 2, because Polonius does not speak to the king in Act 3 Scene 2, although he does speak to Hamlet, and lies to him ("Very like a whale").So is it Act 1 Scene 2, where Polonius says "He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave by laboursome petition."? I suppose that might have been a lie, since he does not seem to need much persuading to let Laertes live a wild life in Paris.Are we talking about the bit in Act II Scene 2 where Polonius hands over Hamlet's love-letter, saying that Ophelia handed it over "in her duty and obedience"? It has been suggested in some productions that basically he stole it, or forced her to hand it over. Or are we talking about "Your noble son is mad." Not true, maybe, but does Polonius know that?
She is in Act 1 Scene 2 ("Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off."), Act 2 Scene 2 ("I doubt it is no other but the main: his father's death and our o'erhasty marriage"), Act 3 Scene 1 ("And for your part, Ophelia, I wish that your good beauties be the happy cause of Hamlet's wildness"), Act 3, Scene 2 ("The lady doth protest too much methinks"), Act 3, Scene 4 (The Closet Scene, her big scene "O Hamlet thou hast cleft my heart in twain!"), Act 4, Scene 1 ("Mad as the sea and wind when both contend"), Act 4 Scene 5 ("So full of artful jealousy is guilt it spills itself in fearing to be spilt"), Act 4 Scene 7 ("There is a willow grows aslant the brook"), and Act 5 Scene 2 ("No, no, the drink, the drink!") That's nine of the twenty scenes--she's on stage a lot.
