Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet and his mother Gertrude argue about his behaviour. During their argument Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius, Ophelia’s father.
Detailed explanation-2: -She wilfully disobeys Claudius by drinking the poisoned wine. She dies with cries of ‘the drink! the drink! I am poisoned’ (5.2. 264), and in so doing identifies Claudius as her killer.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -He accuses Gertrude of lustfulness, and she begs him to leave her alone.
