Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Madness in great ones must not unwatched go Claudius probably does not still believe Hamlet is mad, but since Polonius does, he uses this belief as an excuse to send Hamlet away. This is ironic because he could better “watch” Hamlet’s madness if he were still in Elsinore.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet tells Horatio that he plans to feign madness before the King and the court. The madness will render him invisible so that he might observe and discern the best way and time for his revenge.
