Rosenscrantz and Guildenstern, who asked Hamlet about the location of Polonius's body. "The body is with the king, but the king is not with the body" (Act IV, II, 28-29). On the surface, it appears as if Hamlet is just babbling on unintelligent. However, upon further inspecting, it becomes clear that he is referring to the fact that Polonius is now dead, like the old king, but the new king, Claudius, is not yet dead. Since Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are depicted as fools, this completely flies over their heads and they eventually give up, thinking Hamlet has gone totally insane.
