The two central characters that were chosen are Gertrude and Claudius. They had significant roles in Act 3. Hamlet killed Polonius instead of Claudius because he didn't know who was hiding behind the curtains when he was talking to Gertrude. Gertrude thought Hamlet was also going to kill her too and she was shocked when she found out that he killed Polonius. She saw Hamlet talking and staring into the empty air which was the ghost and she considered Hamlet crazy and insane. On the other hand, Claudius feels unsafe and doesn't want Hamlet to stay because he cannot risk the danger Hamlet is representing. He wants Hamlet to go with Guildenstern to England.
