Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius never admits his guilt to the audience. Claudius killed the king by pouring poison into his ear. At the end of the play, Horatio becomes king. Hamlet fears that the ghost may have been sent by the devil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius kneels before his private alter and confesses to God that he murdered his brother. He admits that this act is unforgivable but he is unwilling to relinquish his new found power and position. Instead he asks for some divine intervention to soften him so that he can seek forgiveness.
Detailed explanation-3: -To make a trap for Claudius by reenacting his father’s death. In lines 615-620, why does Hamlet feel he must have evidence of Claudius’s guilt? The ghost could just e the devil trying to get him to do something wrong.
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius shows the first sign that his conscience is getting to him-perhaps he is feeling guilty for his crime. He describes his lies as “painted words” covering up his crime, and compares himself to a “harlot” who plasters her cheeks with makeup to cover her sins.
Detailed explanation-5: -The ghost tells Hamlet the truth about Claudius’ murderous ways. True, it is through his father’s ghost that Hamlet learns who killed his father.
