When Polonius uses the word loose on page 755, he is essentially using his daughter for bait and offering her to the King and Queen. This further emphasizes the obedient nature of Ophelia. When Hamlet says, "I took thee for thy better", he exclaims to Polonius that he killed him because he thought he was the King. When the queen says "Thou hast cleft my heart in twain", she is expressing her sadness and telling Hamlet that he has broken her heart because he has lost his mind. The use of the character, Osric, provides some comic relief in this time of tragedy because of his foolish behavior. Moreover the bodies that begin to pile up after everyone starts to die which demonstrates a gloomy atmosphere and tone.
