Detailed explanation-1: -Polonius hides behind Gertrude’s curtain to eavesdrop, but calls out in fear after Gertrude does so. Hamlet hears him and stabs him through the curtain, killing him. The prince angrily confronts his mother, and, hearing Polonius’s calls for help, mistakes him for Claudius and stabs him through the curtain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Act 3, scene 4 In Gertrude’s room, Polonius hides behind a tapestry. Hamlet’s entrance so alarms Gertrude that she cries out for help. Polonius echoes her cry, and Hamlet, thinking Polonius to be Claudius, stabs him to death. Hamlet then verbally attacks his mother for marrying Claudius.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polonius plans to hide in order to eavesdrop on Gertrude’s confrontation with her son, in the hope that doing so will enable him to determine the cause of Hamlet’s bizarre and threatening behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -Does Hamlet know they are being watched? Not at first; he figures it out when he hears a noise. Ophelia lies to him when he asks her where her father is.
Detailed explanation-5: -Polonius’s death at the hands of Hamlet causes Claudius to fear for his own life, Ophelia to go mad, and Laertes to seek revenge, which leads to the duel in the final act.
