Detailed explanation-1: -Act 3, scene 4 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-2: -Hamlet draws his sword and thrusts it through the tapestry, killing Polonius.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the closet scene, Hamlet again turns the tables on Gertrude when she accuses him of offending his father. Significantly, she is shown to be innocent of her husband’s murder, and learning that Claudius killed Old Hamlet perhaps shocks her into separating from her new partner.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
