Detailed explanation-1: -What does it mean for Hamlet to be “the most immediate to our throne” (line 113)? By “the most immediate to our throne, ” Claudius means Hamlet is the heir to the throne; he will become king after Claudius.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius Lines 87-117 Claudius tells Hamlet that while grief for his father is appropriate, it’s inappropriate for him to continue grieving for so long. He tells him it is weak and unmanly to wallow in this grief. He tells Hamlet to think of him as being a new father to him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ironic not just because Claudius is the last person in the play to be scolding others for their ungodly conduct, but also because he has opened this scene by noting that it is appropriate for the whole kingdom to still be in mourning.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does Gertrude tell Claudius? She tells him that Hamlet has killed Polonius.
