Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet Arrives at Gertrude’s Room She replies, ‘’Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended, ” meaning that he has offended his uncle and step-father, Claudius.
Detailed explanation-3: -After Hamlet leaves, Claudius rises, saying that he has been unable to pray. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Act 3 scene 2 Hamlet talks to the actors before they perform. He wants the play to ‘hold a mirror up to nature’ as the plot is very similar to the events leading up to his father’s death. Hamlet instructs Horatio to observe Claudius’ response to the play to see if he shows any guilt.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hamlet, thinking that Polonius is actually Claudius, stabs blindly through the curtain, killing Polonius on the spot. Instead of feeling any remorse, Hamlet turns on his mother, attacking her for marrying Claudius so soon after her husband’s death.
