Polonius and Hamlet’s Madness:

• Polonius believes that Hamlet’s erratic behaviour is caused by his unrequited love for Ophelia.

• After instructing his daughter to reject Hamlet's advances and return his letters, Polonius interprets Hamlet's subsequent strange actions as a direct result of this romantic rejection.

• He confidently presents this theory to King Claudius and Queen Gertrude, asserting that Ophelia's refusal of Hamlet's love "hath made him mad."
