라는 또 다른 계략을 세운다. 결국 Polonius는 자신의 이 선택 때문에 다음과 같이 후에 자신의 죽음으로 그 대가를 치러야 했다.
(Act 3 Scene 4)
Hamlet Come, come. Sit yourself down. You’re not moving. You’re not going till
I’ve set up a mirror for you to see your inner self.
Queen What are you going to do? You don’t intend to murder me? Help, help!
Polonius [from behind the tapestry] Help, help I say!
Hamlet What! A rat? [He draws his rapier and thrusts through the tapestry]
I’ll kill it cheap! Dead!
Polonius [behind the tapestry] Oh, he’s killed me!
Queen Oh heavens, what have you done?
Hamlet Really, I’ve no idea. Is it the King? [He lifts up the tapestry and
discovers Polonius lying dead behind it]
Queen Oh, what an impetuous and murderous deed this is!
Hamlet A murderous deed! Almost as bad, good mother, a to kill a king, and
marry his brother…
Queen As kill a king?
Hamlet Yes, lady, that’s what I said. You wretched, rash, intruding fool –
farewell. I thought you were the King. Accept your bad luck. You’ve
learned that to be too inquisitive puts you in danger.
Act 3 scene 2에서 Hamlet이 준비한 연극을 보던 왕은 아연실색한다.
Queen How is my lord?
Polonius Stop the play!
King Turn on the lights. Let’s go!
Polonius More lights, more lights!
Hamlet과 Horatio는 이를 놓치지 않고 확실한 심증을 잡는다. 연극이 파하자 Guildenstern과 Rosencrantz는 다시 Hamlet의 의중을 파악하고자 Hamlet에게 접근한다. “She says this: your behavior has amazed and astonished her.”라는 Rosencrantz의 발언으로 봤을 때 왕과 여왕이 일부러 이들을 보낸 듯 보인다. 이에 Hamlet은
You want to play me; you seem to know where my stops are; you want to uncover my secrets; you would sound me out from base to treble. And there’s a lot of melody, excellent sounds, in this little pipe, but you can’t bring it out. Why, do you think I am easier to play upon than a recorder? Call me whatever instrument you like; fret me even; you still can’t sound me out.
이라며 일침을 가한다.
