By Act 5, Hamlet knows just about everything he needs to know. He reports to Horatio that he discovered the secret orders given to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern which proved that the King was trying to kill Hamlet. He does not yet know about Laertes' complicity in this, but doesn't try to find out either. When he finds out that Ophelia is dead, he does not inquire after the details of her death. He has made a decision to go with the flow ("There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.")
