Detailed explanation-1: -He suspects that the speech of Lucianus is written by Hamlet himself. Claudius rises from his seat, calls for light, and leaves the scene. Observing Claudius’ reaction to the play, now Hamlet is sure that he is the murderer of his father. Now he wants to take revenge upon Claudius.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet plans to watch Claudius’s facial expressions during the production, and in so doing to make an appraisal of his uncle’s guilt. Hamlet’s plan is a success, and the ghost’s accusations are confirmed; Claudius is guilty.
Detailed explanation-3: -He tells Hamlet about how Claudius, the current King and Hamlet’s uncle, murdered him, and Hamlet swears vengeance for his father. Hamlet decides to feign madness while he tests the truth of the Ghost’s allegations (always a good idea in such situations).
Detailed explanation-4: -In less than 2 months Hamlet’s mother (Gertrude) married his uncle (Claudius). Hamlet’s friend came to him telling him that he saw the ghost of his dad. The next night Hamlet was on lookout for the ghost. The ghost told him that Claudius killed him by putting poison in his ear.
Detailed explanation-5: -He then hatches a plan: he’ll have the actors stage a play with a plot similar to the king’s murder. He’ll watch Claudius’s reaction to see if he seems guilty. Then Hamlet will know he can act.
