Detailed explanation-1: -Polonius connives with Claudius to spy on Hamlet. Hamlet unknowingly kills Polonius, provoking Ophelia’s descent into madness, ultimately resulting in her (probable) suicide and the climax of the play: a duel between Laertes and Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet and his mother Gertrude argue about his behaviour. During their argument Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius, Ophelia’s father.
Detailed explanation-3: -When Hamlet enters, he’s in such a rage that Gertrude cries for help. Hearing this, Polonius echoes her cries for help, revealing his hiding place in the process. Hamlet, thinking that Polonius is actually Claudius, stabs blindly through the curtain, killing Polonius on the spot.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Hamlet killed Polonius by an accident. He was attempting to avenge his father’s murder by killing Claudius, but got misled and killed Polonius.
