Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet meets with the actors and instructs them as to the nature of proper acting. He tells them not to overact, and not to use large gestures. He wishes them to be honest; he asks them to mirror nature, to be entirely realistic in their portrayals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius and Gertrude ask Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to spy on Hamlet. Polonius believes Hamlet’s odd behaviour is caused by his love for Ophelia. A group of travelling actors accept Hamlet’s request to perform ‘The murder of Gonzago’, the plot of which is very similar to what happened to Hamlet’s father.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the play shows a king being poisoned, how does the current king, Claudius, react? He is bored and does not seem to care. What is the first part of the players’ performance in Act 3, Scene 2? A dumb show, in which they do not speak.
