The two men leave in search for the young prince and Polonious enters getting the King and Queen’s attention. He claims to knowing what the source of Hamlets madness but said he will elaborate further once an ambassador arrives from Norway. Gertrude believes that her son is still grieving over her ex-husbands death and quick re-marriage.
