- "But tell me why you proceeded not against these feats so crimeful and so capital in nature" (IV.VII.6-8).
- "O, for two special reasons, which may to you, perhaps, seem much unsinew'd, but yet to me they are strong. The Queen his mother lives almost by his looks...She's so conjunctive to my life and soul that, as the star moves not but in his sphere, I could not but by her. The other motive why to a public count I might not go is the great love the general gender bear him, who, dipping all his faults in their affection, who, like the spring that turneth wood to stone, convert his gyves to graces" (IV.VII.11-23).
- The scene opens with Laertes asking Claudius why he is not punishing Hamlet for killing Polonius. Claudius tells Laertes that he is not taking action against Hamlet for two reasons. The first is he loves Queen Gertrude, and doesn't want to upset her by punishing her son. The second is because of Hamlet's reputation with the public. Punishing Hamlet would make the public angry at Claudius.
