Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet: Act 4, Scene 5 Summary. In Hamlet Act 4, Scene 5, Ophelia has lost her mind due to grief over her father’s death and Hamlet’s departure.
Detailed explanation-2: -A court gentleman reports that Ophelia has become pitiably insane. Gertrude refuses to see the girl, but Horatio points out that Ophelia’s mental state may attract undue attention to herself and the crown. Gertrude then agrees to speak with Ophelia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ophelia’s tragic death occurs at the worst possible moment for Claudius. As Laertes flees the room in agony, Claudius follows, not to console or even to join him in mourning but because, as he tells Gertrude, it was so difficult to appease his anger in the first place.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet delays killing Claudius because Claudius represents Hamlet’s innermost desires to sleep with his mother Gertrude. And by killing Claudius, Hamlet would be killing a part of himself.
