- Ophelia reveals to Claudius that Hamlet has killed Polonius in an act of lunacy
- Claudius fears of the consequences, what will people say, he should have kept Hamlet under control
- Ophelia lies to Claudius saying Hamlet was sorry for what he had done, and that he shed a tear after the deed
- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are told to bring back Hamlet and take Polonius' body to the chapel, Claudius will attempt to get Hamlet out of town quickly > conference with advisors to see what they can do next
- Hamlet is found by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern> refuses to reveal the burial area of Polonius
- insults Rosencrantz, referring to them as sponges, used only when needed, soaking up all the rewards from the king, but when no longer needed they will be squeezed and nothing will remain with them
- Hamlet fools them when he says they should take him to Claudius, afterwards running off (Hide fox, and all after.)
- Hamlet brought in and questioned about the body by Claudius > 3 responses
- At supper > not where he eats, but where he is being eaten
- In heaven > insults Claudius and tells him to go search for him in the other place if he cant find him here (Go to hell.)
- Upstairs > he will begin to stink, able to smell him as one goes upstairs (calls after attendants that their is no need to hurry as he isn't going anywhere)
- Hamlet told he is going to England, understands that the reasoning behind it is not good
- Claudius after all exit > England must obey the orders that go along with Hamlet, to execute him once he arrives "By letters congruing to that effect,/The present death of Hamlet."
