Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet, realizing that someone is behind the arras and suspecting that it might be Claudius, cries, “How now! a rat?” (III. iv. 22). He draws his sword and stabs it through the tapestry, killing the unseen Polonius.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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. Hamlet then verbally attacks his mother for marrying Claudius.
Detailed explanation-4: -Does Hamlet know they are being watched? Not at first; he figures it out when he hears a noise. Ophelia lies to him when he asks her where her father is.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hearing this, Polonius echoes her cries for help, revealing his hiding place in the process. Hamlet, thinking that Polonius is actually Claudius, stabs blindly through the curtain, killing Polonius on the spot.
