Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius explains that he acted as he did, burying Polonius secretly and not punishing Hamlet for the murder, because both the common people and the queen love Hamlet very much. As a king and as a husband, he did not wish to upset either of them.
Detailed explanation-2: -What two reasons does Claudius give Laertes for failing to apprehend Hamlet and punish him for Polonius’ death? Out of respect for Hamlet’s mom (it’ll hurt his mom if Claudius hurt Hamlet) and because the public adores Hamlet-he doesn’t want the uprising.
Detailed explanation-3: -What reasons does Claudius give for not acting to prevent Hamlet’s violence? Two main reasons : The queen is devoted to Hamlet and would not forgive Claudius. And because the public loves Hamlet, therefore they overlook all his faults, and whatever Claudius said against him would end up hurting him, not Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Q: Why does inaction rule Hamlet? Hamlet has the problem of procrastination and cannot act from emotions due to a lack of self-discipline. He is a man of reason and denies emotions so that his search for the truth of whether Claudius killed his father is satisfied.
Detailed explanation-5: -Claudius knows that Hamlet is mad because he is aware that he killed his brother, the king. Claudius decides that he wants Hamlet to be sent to England.
