Detailed explanation-1: -What does Gertrude tell Claudius? She tells him that Hamlet has killed Polonius.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius and Gertrude ask Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to spy on Hamlet. Polonius believes Hamlet’s odd behaviour is caused by his love for Ophelia. A group of travelling actors accept Hamlet’s request to perform ‘The murder of Gonzago’, the plot of which is very similar to what happened to Hamlet’s father.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gertrude informs Claudius of Polonius’s death and Claudius realises that it could have been him if he had been there (L13). Claudius is more fearful that he will be blamed for Hamlets actions rather than showing emotion at the death of Polonius (L16-18).
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius and Gertrude set Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two boyhood friends of Hamlet, to spy on him. When Hamlet himself enters, he is confronted first by Polonius and then by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, whom he quickly identifies as Claudius’s spies. As they talk, a company of touring actors enters.
