This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

Answer: Polonius believes that the real reason for Hamlet's lunacy is his love for Ophelia.
Explanation:
In Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em>, prince Hamlet decides to act as a mad man, so that he can revenge his father.
Polonius, however, believes that Hamlet has lost his mind because he loves his daughter, Ophelia, but she rejects his love. Polonius has told Ophelia that Hamlet is out of her league and ordered her not to be with him. Although she does have certain feelings for Hamlet, her father demanded that Ophelia ignores any love letters that he should send her. In <em>Act II, Scene II,</em> Polonius tells Claudius that this is the reason behind Hamlet's madness.
