What techniques does Shakespeare use to speed the pace of Hamlet in Act IV?
In my view, the pace of Hamlet slows down in Act IV after the frenetic Act III. Hamlet gets to be offstage for a while (being on the boat to England), a welcome relief for the actor playing him no doubt. In the meantime, we hear a lot about Ophelia and Laertes. Ophelia is nuts and we pause to reflect on that. Although Laertes bursts into the palace with the intention of revenge upon Claudius, for the most part the scenes with Laertes are plotting and talk, talk, talk. The movement of the story is held up as the characters discuss their situation and prepare for what is to come in Act V: Hamlet's return.
Who was Hamlet's beloved in Shakespeare's Hamlet?
Hamlet's girlfriend is Ophelia. Does he want to marry her? He doesn't really say. He has "made tenders of his affection", he has "importuned [Ophelia] with love in honourable fashion", he says in his love letter "never doubt I love", and "but that I love thee best, oh most best, believe it", he says in the nunnery scene "I did love you once", and says at her funeral "I loved Ophelia". He often says he loves her but doesn't talk of marriage.Perhaps it is because he is closely related to the king and queen and the presumed heir to the throne that he steers clear of this topic. In the reign of Bloody Mary, Thomas Seymour was executed in part for suggesting that he might marry Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth. Love was a personal matter, but marriage was a state matter. That is why Laertes cautions Ophelia, "His will is not his own. He may not, as unvalued persons do, carve for himself."Gertrude, on the other hand, was thinking of marriage between Hamlet and Ophelia. "I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife."
What is Polonius' plan for testing his theory that Hamlet is love-crazy?
In "Hamlet", Polonious devises a plan to test his theory that Hamlet is madly in love with Ophelia, and since she is ignoring him, he is depressed. He plans to arrange for Hamlet and Ophelia to meet. He will hide close by and ease-drop to determine if he is correct in his assumption.

Who requests a meeting with Hamlet?
Well, Claudius does, in Act 3 scene 1, in what's called the Nunnery Scene. However, it's actually a setup for Hamlet to talk to Ophelia while Claudius eavesdrops.

Actually, it can, at least at the beginning of the play. Claudius estimated that by murdering his brother, he would be king and marry Gertrude. His judgement was sound. Claudius decided that a diplomatic solution to the Fortinbras problem would work. His judgement was sound. After observing Hamlet's conversation with Ophelia in Act III Scene 1, he concludes that Polonius was wrong, that Hamlet's problem is not love, but something else "on which his mind sets on brood." His judgement is dead on. When Laertes bursts in threatening to kill him, Claudius estimates that he can talk Laertes out of his anger and does not need (or want) Gertrude's help. She is right to trust his judgement here. It is only in accepting Laertes as a co-conspirator and agreeing to a sloppy and dangerous plan for revenge that we see his judgement falter.
Who is not a main character in hamlet?
It's easier to talk about who is related to whom. Hamlet is Gertrude's son and Claudius's nephew and stepson, and of course the son of the Ghost. Polonius is Laertes's father and Ophelia's father. Everyone else is unrelated.

How do you suppose Ophelia feels after listening to her brother and her father talk about her love life?
Ophelia likely feels a mix of confusion and frustration after overhearing her brother Laertes and father Polonius discussing her love life. Their protective attitudes may make her feel infantilized, as they view her as someone who needs guidance rather than respecting her autonomy. Additionally, their focus on her relationship with Hamlet might evoke feelings of betrayal or sadness, as it suggests they do not trust her judgment in matters of the heart. Overall, she may feel trapped between familial expectations and her own desires.

She agrees to her father's charge and will have nothing to do with Hamlet. Polonius has said to her, "I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth, have you slander any moment leisure as to give word or talk with the Lord Hamlet." At this point in the play (Act 1 Scene 3), he has not asked her to spy on Hamlet yet.

How would you summarize Act 3 Scene 1 in Hamlet?
Polonius and Claudius send Ophelia to talk to Hamlet to see how he responds to her. They wanted to find out if Hamlet truly was mad because of his love for Ophelia.Hamlet asks whether it is better to live or not to live. Should people suffer with what is going on around them or should they fight? He says that the only reason he and other people are not committing suicide is because they are scared of what might happen to them after death.The king's view has changed. He does not believe that the madness was caused by his love for Ophelia"Madness in great ones must not unwatched go." The king says this because he is not truly sure if Hamlet is mad because of Ophelia or not. He realizes that Hamlet is clever and could be up to something. He could think that Hamlet knew that Polonius and he were spying on him with Ophelia.
