Detailed explanation-1: -In Gertrude’s chamber, the queen and Polonius wait for Hamlet’s arrival. Polonius plans to hide in order to eavesdrop on Gertrude’s confrontation with her son, in the hope that doing so will enable him to determine the cause of Hamlet’s bizarre and threatening behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why does Polonius hide behind the Queen’s curtain? Does she know he’s there? So he can spy on Hamlet and Gertrude’s conversation (which they planned that Hamlet was going to confess his feelings); she does know. When Hamlet enters Gertrude’s chamber, she starts to scold her son.
Detailed explanation-3: -In his last attempt to spy on Hamlet, Polonius hides himself behind an arras in Gertrude’s room. Hamlet deals roughly with his mother, causing her to cry for help. Polonius echoes the request for help and is heard by Hamlet, who then mistakes the voice for Claudius’ and stabs through the arras and kills him.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Gertrude’s room, Polonius hides behind a tapestry. Hamlet’s entrance so alarms Gertrude that she cries out for help. Polonius echoes her cry, and Hamlet, thinking Polonius to be Claudius, stabs him to death. Hamlet then verbally attacks his mother for marrying Claudius.
Detailed explanation-5: -Polonius hides behind Gertrude’s curtain to eavesdrop, but calls out in fear after Gertrude does so. Hamlet hears him and stabs him through the curtain, killing him.
