Polonius discovers of their dlet came across her, read their deal with after which quickly left. Polonius thinks you to definitely Hamlet’s odd behaviour is mainly because Ophelia possess declined him. Polonius why don’t we has just strange behavior.
So it scene takes place few weeks adopting the step from Operate I. We could assume this simply because Laertes enjoys basic arrived 
in Paris and you can 2nd, he has got had the experience having plenty of time to need financial help (money) from Polonius.
Polonius today family, instructs their servant Reynaldo to travel to Paris where Laertes are and “Render him so it money that cards,” and this Polonius offers since Laertes will be trying to find funds from his dad (Range step 1).
Polonius together with informs Reynaldo which he should do better because of the him (getting really thanked by the Polonius) in order to “generate query” or spy (Line cuatro) towards the behaviour of his child Laertes.
Polonius tells Reynaldo to inquire of “Danskers” (Danish individuals such as for example Laertes) in Paris, informing Polonius to find out their work, where it collect and you may asking whatever they envision and you may learn out of Laertes in order to understand people rumors there is regarding their son (Outlines 8-16).
Polonius informs Reynaldo to do this of the acting so you can distantly discover Laertes (Line 13-16). Indeed Polonius is certain you to their kid, off their dad, are indulging themselves in the activities like “taking, fencing, swearing,” and you will “quarrelling,” (Range twenty five) Reynaldo saying that Polonius dishonors his man by making such as allegations (Line twenty seven).
Polonius along with tells Reynaldo to let Laertes “ply their sounds” or check out Laertes closely as he suggests his miracle conduct (Line 73).
Polonius informs Ophelia to become listed on him into the enjoying King Claudius given that he is now yes why Hamlet try acting very strangely; needless to say Hamlet suffers from rejection of the Ophelia or due to the fact Polonius places it, “the very euphoria away from love,” (the actual procedures a rejected and you will disappointed mate renders), (Line 102)
Notably towards the play, Polonius’ mistrust of his boy was echoed later because of the King Claudius’ distrust from his “son” Hamlet (Hamlet’s actual father was the fresh new later King Hamlet killed by the Claudius). Later as soon as we pick Queen Claudius using spies into Hamlet in order to look for their purposes we see a parallel with Polonius, the fresh Queen Claudius’ Lord Chamberlain who exactly the same thing in order to his son, a reflection perhaps of uncertainty, mistrust and deception and espionage that happens in this play.
Asking Ophelia “what’s the number?” (Range 74), Polonius quickly discovers you to since the Ophelia try sewing in her own case, Hamlet showed up, his attire disheveled (chaos), his deal with while the “Soft just like the his top;” their legs knocking and you may a peek so pitiful it was as when the Hamlet got only come let-out out of hell (Traces 80-84).
Ophelia demonstrates to you subsequent to help you her dad that Hamlet “took me by arm and you will kept me personally hard,” (Line 88), next stared and you will studied the lady deal with carefully prior to ultimately making (Line 88-92).
Certain of so it, Polonius requires their girl in the event the she has “provided your one difficult terminology recently? (told you anything hurtful so you can Hamlet), (Line 107), studying out of Ophelia that she’s got perhaps not, however, one she did “hold back [reject] their characters and you can refused / Their [Hamlet’s] usage of me” as Polonius got taught. (Range 108).
Polonius’ dad is back family regarding Paris
Polonius now’s sure if getting rejected because of the Ophelia “hath [has] generated him [Hamlet] mad” stating that the guy regrets having been so very hard to the Hamlet by telling their child to not look for your (Range 111).
Polonius finishes the scene by informing their daughter to come collectively, since they need certainly to tell the new Queen as to the reasons Hamlet is acting therefore surprisingly.
