he think that hamlet is going mad due the love. the love between Hamlet and Ophelia.
Polonius: Mad for thy love? Ophelia: My lord I do not know, but truly do I fear it.
Hamlet is love-sick with Ophelia and is mad since he isn't able to see her anymore.
Part of the answer has to depend on when you think Hamlet figures out that Polonius is listening in. If you think Hamlet knew from the start, then he may be saying "No, I never gave thee ought." to make Polonius think that their relationship was less serious than it really was. Or possibly the return of the love-tokens tips him off, and his lines "Are you honest?" and "Are you fair?" are really intended for Polonius. Perhaps "Get thee to a nunnery" is intended for Polonius (perhaps to make him think Hamlet as angry with Ophelia to try to save her from being implicated in Hamlet's problems), and "We are arrant knaves all; believe none of us" is to Ophelia so she knows he's not really mad at her. A number of people believe that Hamlet might become aware of Polonius's presence immediately before the line "Where's your father?" (Although possibly that may be when Hamlet discovers that Ophelia knows that Polonius is listening, or when he discovers that she has been planted by Polonius). In that case the lines "It hath made me mad", and "I say let us have no more marriages" may be directed to Polonius, the first to help reinforce the illusion that he's crazy and the second to get in a sly dig at Claudius and Gertrude.
Polonius is interested in seeing whether spying on Hamlet's conversation with Gertrude will justify his theory that Hamlet is mad for love. (see the end of Act 3 Scene 1)
"it means that although some chaos is going on in whatever the situation, someone is planning it, or here was a plan behind it" The above is incorrect.This is a Shakespeare quote spoken by Polonius to young Hamlet. In this scene Halmet is acting mad and while spurting "insane" words, he succeeds in slipping in insults toward Polonius. He is essentially pointing out that although Hamlet appears mad, he can tell that he was previously mocking him amongst the seemingly insane words. Because it is spoken by Polonius and not Hamlet, there is no intended underlying meaning. It means simply that he acknowledges he's been insulted amidst an "insane" rant. For those of you who wish to take it out of context and bring meaning to it, so be it; however, it's actual meaning is simply this.
Polonius: Mad for thy love? Ophelia: My lord I do not know, but truly do I fear it.
Polonius is sure that Hamlet has gone mad with love for Ophelia. See these lines by Polonius in Act 2 scene 1: ~Polonius: Come, go with me! I will go seek the King;This is the very ecstasy of love,...Ophelia: ... I did repel his letters, and denied His access to me.Polonius: That hath made him mad;~ So Polonius thinks Hamlet is suffering from the "ecstasy of love" for Ophelia, which has driven him mad.
Claudius does not ask Hamlet what he has done with Polonius, although Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do. He asks Hamlet where Polonius is. His lines are "Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius?" and "Where is Polonius?". Hamlet answers, first that Polonius is at supper (not where he eats but where he is eaten) and second that Polonius is in heaven (where Claudius cannot go to find him). Then he adds, "But if indeed you find him not within this month you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby."
Polonius thinks that Hamlet has been driven mad because Polonius told Ophelia to reject all letters and gifts from Hamlet. He is, in Polonius's view, suffering from unrequited love. It is typical of someone as full of himself as Polonius is to imagine that whatever is going on is all due to something he himself did.

Ophelia, who drowns (maybe a suicide as she is mad and so falls into the water). She is mad out of grief for her father polonius, who Hamlet killed accidentally.
no, i dont think so
Polonius is interested in seeing whether spying on Hamlet's conversation with Gertrude will justify his theory that Hamlet is mad for love. (see the end of Act 3 Scene 1)
Ophelia's father is Polonius, who is Claudius' advisor. Polonius is killed by Hamlet when he is hiding behind a tapestry, spying on Hamlet as he talks to his mother, Gertrude. After Polonius' death, Ophelia goes mad and eventually dies after she falls from a tree into a brook and drowns.
You would'nt think of that if you were mad.
