1. Well, putting 40 pages of Hamlet is a little difficult, but here goes nothing. Hamlet's parents invite his two friends to stay with them in their palace in exchange for them becoming undercover spies to find the source of his recent change in personality. Polonius arrives at the palace to relay his thoughts of provocation of Hamlet's madness to be moping after his recent breakup with Ophelia. Hamlet goes on a little jaunt with Polonius, acting as mad as possible, but tugging on a few heartstrings along the way. Once he meets up with his two long lost friends, he immediately discovers their true reason for being at the palace. Actors arrive, which pleases Hamlet very much. He encourages an impromptu performance, which rials him up. Once the actors have finished, he makes a dramatic exit on the scene by a strikingly emotional soliloquy where implications of madness thrive.
2. Hamlet's superfluous wit and humor would not be conveyed properly without this scene, leaving only one option, that he has honestly gone mad, instead of the alternative, pretending.
3. Hamlet- Once you found out your friends were there to betray you, why put up with them instead of confronting the king and having them sent away? Polonius- You have seen how unhappy your daughter is being separated from Hamlet; why do you insist they must not be together?
