Why does Hamlet stab and kill Polonius?
Before Hamlet enters his mother's chamber, Polonius is having a discussion with Hamlet's mother Gertrude. As Hamlet enters the room, Polonius conceals himself behind a tapestry hanging from the wall. When he hears Gertrude begin to feel threatened by Hamlet, he cries out for help, thinking that he would kill them both. Hamlet hears Polonius, and believes him to be a rat/spy (possibly even King Claudius, but it is unclear if he truly believes this). Hamlet stabs through the tapestry killing Polonius, who remarks "O, I am slain".

What was the Tapestry in Hamlet?
When Prince Hamlet goes to confront Gertrude (the queen) after the actors perform, Polonius, the king's adviser runs and hides behind a tapestry that is hanging on a wall in the queen's room. As Hamlet yells at Gertrude, she feels threatened and screams for help. At the sound of this, Polonius is worried and calls for help also. Hamlet hears this, and thinking it's Claudius, runs toward the tapestry and pierces through it with his sword, accidentally stabbing Polonius.
Who does Hamlet mistake for Claudius and accidentally kill?
Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius, the father of his love interest Ophelia and the advisor to King Claudius, Hamlet's deceased father's brother who recently married Hamlet's mother. Polonius is hiding behind a tapestry in the room of Hamlet's mother Gertrude, planning to eavesdrop on their discussion about Hamlet's apparent madness of late. They all assume it is because Ophelia has broken up with him. However, in reality it is a ploy to keep from arousing suspicion as he plots to kill Claudius, because Hamlet was visited by the ghost of his father telling him that Claudius had murdered him to usurp the throne and instructing Hamlet to avenge his death. When Hamlet hears a noise behind the tapestry, he assumes it is Claudius and stabs into the curtain, killing Polonius. This occurs at the beginning of Act 3, Scene 4.
