More fighting and more settings. Many characters had various confrontations and these led to multiple events. When Polonius was accidentally killed, people tended to be more concerned about looking for the corpse. The characters went to numerous places to chase Hamlet and question him of murder.

Answer: Shakespeare uses different settings and and intriguing dialogues to quicken the pace.

Explanation: By making condradictory and intriguing characters and changing settings, Shakespeare makes the drama Hamlet quicken the pace. In the act IV Hamlet passes from a hero to a villain when he kills Polonius as Claudius kills his father. It is true Polonius is a spy but the whole thing of feigning madness means that he wants revenge no matter what happens to anyone around him. Hamlet hides the body but he doesn't feel overwhelmed with contrition, he seems desperate and manic. Hamlet has many good qualities and honor is without any doubt a thing that he searches for during the whole play.
