I assume we are discounting the various lines which Hamlet directs to Polonius' questions in the three scenes where he has a conversation with him: "Words, words, words", "You cannot, sir, take from me anything which I would more willingly part withal", "Do you see yonder cloud which is in the shape of a camel?", "Have you a daughter?", "Buz, buz", "O Jeptha, judge of Israel, what a treasure had thou?"
I think Hamlet intended Polonius to hear all these lines.
I doubt if he intended Polonius to hear the things he said to Gertrude in the closet scene, even though Polonius did hear them.
There are other things which Hamlet says which Polonius overhears which he might have intended Polonius to overhear. The line "These tedious old fools!" is one. The entire soliloquy "To be or not to be" and some or all of the scene with Ophelia which follows is another. The line "Where is your father?" suggests that at least at this point Hamlet is aware of Polonius and intends him to hear.
What else can I help you with?
Presume that Hamlet did know that Polonius was listening to his talk with Ophelia What sentence do you think Hamlet might have specifically intended Polonius to hear?
In this hypothetical scenario, if Hamlet knew that Polonius was eavesdropping on his conversation with Ophelia, he might have intended for Polonius to hear the line, "Get thee to a nunnery." This statement could be interpreted as a deliberate attempt by Hamlet to convey his contempt for the corrupt world and his disillusionment with Ophelia, while also serving as a veiled criticism of Polonius and the court. Hamlet's words could be seen as a reflection of his inner turmoil and his disdain for the deceit and manipulation surrounding him.
