It seems Claudius has finally caught wind of Hamlet's intentions. Claudius has ordered Hamlet be taken to England. Hamlet must have been the one that killed Polonius, because no sooner had rumors of Polonius's death circulated around Elsinore did Claudius have a ship prepared for Hamlet's departure. I do not know what might have driven Hamlet to kill Polonius. I know Hamlet hated the old man and thought he was a meddling idiot, but to kill him? Perhaps Hamlet's madness is not completely feigned. I suppose Hamlet will not have his revenge on Claudius any time soon.
