Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet finally reveals to Claudius where he has put Polonius’ body after he killed him. He does so after telling Claudius that he can find him in hell, implying that is where Claudius belongs himself.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elsewhere in Elsinore, Hamlet has just finished disposing of Polonius’s body, commenting that the corpse has been “safely stowed” (IV.
Detailed explanation-3: -Where did Hamlet hide Polonius’s body? In the stairs leading to the lobby. What does Claudius plan to do to Hamlet when he reaches England? To kill him.
Detailed explanation-4: -A: Hamlet refuses to tell them where Polonius’s body because first of all, it will make them believe he is crazy. Only crazy people will do things like that, so he is acting to show others that he does lose his mind. He doesn’t mean to kill Polonius. Plus, this will make Claudius anger, therefore makes Hamlet happy.
Detailed explanation-5: -He says “the body is with the king, but the king is not with the body” (4.2. 27-28). This is a reference to a law that says the king has the right to enforce the laws, but that the laws don’t just go away when the king dies.
