Polonius' Test for Hamlet's Madness
Polonius is convinced that Hamlet is mad with love. If they do not see proof of this, Polonius says he will give up his political career and be a farmer. He devises a test for Hamlet by letting Ophelia encounter him during one of their long walks. Rosencranz and Gildenstern come to visit Hamlet in Elsinor but refuse to say why they were sent there. They are eventually forced to admit it was them; however, they still don't explain how they got there.
