Detailed explanation-1: -When Claudius first asks Hamlet where he put Polonius’ body, Hamlet tells him he is at supper. He explains that he is not eating but being eaten himself by worms. Hamlet uses this analogy of worms eating a body to describe the fact that Polonius is dead.
Detailed explanation-2: -Within, Hamlet describes how a man can catch a fish with a worm that has eaten from the king and then the fish will be eaten by the man. This basically means that death is an equalizer and even someone as mighty as a King can be used as something to help feed the common man.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet says she should be kept out of the sun, as the sun would likely conceive with her too, thus likening our delicate Ophelia’s womb to a dead dog rotting in the sun, which would then breed maggots. Nice way to talk about your crush, Hammie.
Detailed explanation-4: -HAMLET A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. CLAUDIUS What dost thou mean by this? HAMLET Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.”
