3. Having confirmed that the Queen and Claudius were responsible for his sadness and uncalled-for madness, the prince, badly dressed and looking miserable, distressed
Orphelia whose confused father thought an explanation of the situation to the Queen and the King would make good a marriage to restore Hamlet to happiness.

4. Desperately in love with Queen Gertrude and urged by greed for King Hamlet’s
possession, Claudius poisoned to death his own brother and married his faithless wife.
