Detailed explanation-1: -Pressed by Claudius to reveal the location of Polonius’s body, Hamlet is by turns inane, coy, and clever, saying that Polonius is being eaten by worms, and that the king could send a messenger to find Polonius in heaven or seek him in hell himself.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet refuses to tell Rosencrantz and Guildenstern where Polonius’ dead body is hidden. He calls Rosencrantz and Guildenstern lapdogs, revealing his true awareness that they are not his friends.
Detailed explanation-3: -The King asks: Where is Polonius Hamlet: At supper King: At supper? Where? Hamlet: Not where he eats, but where he’s eaten. (meaning he is six feet under-dead) All this talk makes the king very mad.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rosencrantz and Guildenstern appear and ask what he has done with the body. Hamlet refuses to give them a straight answer, instead saying, “The body is with the king, but the king is not with the body” (IV. ii. 25–26).
