Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius explains that he acted as he did, burying Polonius secretly and not punishing Hamlet for the murder, because both the common people and the queen love Hamlet very much.
Detailed explanation-2: -What two reasons does Claudius give Laertes for failing to apprehend Hamlet and punish him for Polonius’ death? Out of respect for Hamlet’s mom (it’ll hurt his mom if Claudius hurt Hamlet) and because the public adores Hamlet-he doesn’t want the uprising.
Detailed explanation-3: -Act Four, Scene Seven 78. What are the two reasons Claudius will not execute Hamlet? The people love him and he does not want to upset Gertrude.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because Hamlet no longer has to repress his desire, his strength returns, thus enabling him to kill Claudius not just once, but twice. Hamlet first cuts Claudius with his rapier, then forces him to drink from the poisoned cup. Each of Claudius’ “deaths” represents different things to Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-5: -What reasons does Claudius give for not acting to prevent Hamlet’s violence? Two main reasons : The queen is devoted to Hamlet and would not forgive Claudius. And because the public loves Hamlet, therefore they overlook all his faults, and whatever Claudius said against him would end up hurting him, not Hamlet.
