Detailed explanation-1: -Through the death of Polonius, Hamlet has committed the very crime which he was seeking to punish; the son of a father murdered has himself murdered a father. Retribution will call up against him a son, at whose hands he will meet his fate.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Act 2, Scene 2, what happens when Polonius first tries to speak to Hamlet? Hamlet does not seem to recognize him. When Polonius tries to speak with Hamlet, does he really believe Hamlet is crazy? Not entirely–Polonius sees some reason or logic within the craziness.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dead, for a ducat, dead! [Behind] O, I am slain! O me, what hast thou done?
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet’s death at the hands of Laertes makes his earlier declaration over Polonius’s corpse, that God has chosen “to punish me with this and this with me, ” prophetic (III. iv. 174). His murder of Polonius does punish him in the end, since it is Laertes’ vengeful rage over that murder that leads to Hamlet’s death.
