Why does polonius hide behind the queen curtain does she know that he is there?

It's actually an arras that Polonius hides behind. Both times Polonius hides behind an arras, he does so to eavesdrop on what Hamlet says to somebody else. First, Polonius hides to listen to Hamlet talk to Ophelia, then later, he hides to listen to Hamlet talk to Gertrude.


What trap does Polonius set for Hamlet?

Basically, he knows that Hamlet usually walks alone through the lobby of the castle, and, at such a time, they (Polonius and Claudius) could hide behind an arras (a curtain or wall hanging) while Ophelia confronts Hamlet, allowing them to see for themselves whether Hamlet's madness really emanates from his love for her.


How did Ophelia's father die?

Prior to Hamlet's entry into Gertrude's (Hamlet's mother) chamber, Polonius is having a discussion with the queen. As Hamlet enters his mother's room rather abruptly, Polonius chooses to hide behind a tapestry on the wall. When Hamlet begins to threaten his mother, Polonius believes Hamlet is trying to kill her, and so Polonius cries for help. Hamlet "thinking it was King Claudius" (it is unclear as to whether he actually believes its the King or not), stabs Polonius through the tapestry, killing him. As he dies he lets out his iconically obvious line "Oh, I am slain".


How does Polonius respond to his daughter?
