So the beginning of this scene starts with Polonius and his manservant (I guess) Reynaldo. We kinda skipped this part, so we don't really know what happens. I guess it was unimportant, so on to the next. Anyway, Ophelia rushes in, talking fast and crazy-like, saying Hamlet rushed into her room and "with a look so piteous in purport as if he had been loosed out of hell to speak of horrors," he came before her. Polonius is astonished at his actions and Ophelia continues her story. Apparently, Hamlet grabbed her and just stared at her for some time, actually all strange like. Polonius becomes suspicious of his behavior and decides to tell the King that Hamlet has become "mad for [Ophelia's] love."
Quotes: "Mad for thy love?" "He falls to such perusal of my face as 'a would draw it." <-- indication of intense love!
