Detailed explanation-1: -Verbal Irony Hamlet says “I am too much in the sun.” Application of irony: Claudius asked Hamlet “How is it that the clouds still hang on you?” In other words, why are you still so sad about the death of your father?
Detailed explanation-2: -The irony all belongs to Polonius; he is there to trap Hamlet and finds himself trapped instead. He has said he will silence himself, and he is indeed silenced. There is both simple irony and dramatic irony. The Ghost’s invisibility to Gertrude raises the question of Hamlet’s sanity.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Hamlet, dramatic irony is created when only Hamlet and the readers learn the truth about the King’s death. His pretense of being mad also results in this type of irony. He fakes it for everyone, and other characters believe in his insanity.
Detailed explanation-4: -The situation is ironic because Claudius was not genuinely praying. He was performing the act, but his mind was far from the prayer, though Hamlet did not know about that.
