This scene is quite tense as it is where Claudius asks Hamlet where Polonius’s body is buried. Hamlet goes onto to say that Claudius should send a messenger to heaven to see if he is there. If Polonius is not there then Hamlet tells Claudius to go and visit hell himself to see if Polonius is there. Hamlet then goes onto to say that Polonius has gone to dinner (by this he means that Polonius’s body is feeding the worms). This confuses Claudius as he is not as intelligent as Hamlet. Hamlet then tells Claudius that he better find him soon otherwise he’ll be smelling him as he goes up the stairs to the main hall. Claudius then sends his servants off to retrieve the body. Claudius then tells Hamlet that he is going off to England, and Hamlet agrees happily. Once everyone has left, Claudius talks to himself about how the King of England needs to kill Hamlet. Otherwise, Claudius will never rest easy, knowing that Hamlet is still out there.
