Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Polonius tells Claudius of his plans to spy on Hamlet’s conversation with Gertrude.
Detailed explanation-3: -When Hamlet arrives to scold his mother, he hears Polonius moving behind the arras (a kind of tapestry). He stabs the tapestry and, in so doing, kills Polonius. The ghost of Hamlet’s father reappears and warns his son not to delay revenge or upset his mother.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does Hamlet say that lets us know he realizes that Polonius is behind the tapestry before he kills him? He says he was going to kill King Claudius.
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.
