Detailed explanation-1: -The King asks: Where is Polonius Hamlet: At supper King: At supper? Where? Hamlet: Not where he eats, but where he’s eaten. (meaning he is six feet under-dead) All this talk makes the king very mad.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polonius then suggests that he and Claudius hide themselves behind a needlework wall hanging so they can eavesdrop on the couple when Ophelia meets with Hamlet to return his love gifts. Claudius agrees, just as Hamlet enters reading.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polonius sternly echoes Laertes’ advice and forbids Ophelia to associate with Hamlet anymore. He tells her that Hamlet has deceived her in swearing his love and that she should see through his false vows and rebuff his affections. Ophelia pledges to obey.
Detailed explanation-4: -Polonius then tells Gertrude and Claudius that he thinks Hamlet’s behavior is due to his feelings for Ophelia. They hatch a plan to figure out what’s really going on: Polonius will send Ophelia to talk to the mad Hamlet and prove once and for all that he’s crazy with love. Hamlet then enters, mad as ever.
