Hamlet's willingness to go with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into a trap shows that he may be giving up. He knows the consequences he should face for killing Polonius and has not had the strength or courage to act against Claudius yet. It also is a point that he has descended further into a reality of the madness that he has been 'putting on'.
