Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius is warning the members of the court against excessive grief over the late king. He justifies his admittedly hasty marriage to Gertrude, the widowed queen, by saying that the marriage had been done in the best interest of Denmark and with the approval of the courtiers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Laertes wants Hamlet dead to avenge Polonius’s death; Claudius wants Hamlet dead because he is afraid that Hamlet knows that Claudius killed his own brother, Hamlet’s father. Claudius uses Laertes’s grief to manipulate him into going along with Claudius’s plan to kill Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Claudius’ sneaky and manipulative ways eventually lead to the death of Polonius at Hamlet’s hands. Instead of punishing Hamlet for Polonius’ murder himself, Claudius sent the prince to England alongside Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with letters that would arrange Hamlet’s death, making it look like an accident.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gertrude’s marriage to Claudius took away Hamlet’s chance to rule Denmark, but only temporarily. Claudius says to Hamlet when he tries to console him, “You are the most immediate to our throne” (1.2. 313).
