Detailed explanation-1: -He resolves to devise a trap for Claudius, forcing the king to watch a play whose plot closely resembles the murder of Hamlet’s father; if the king is guilty, he thinks, he will surely show some visible sign of guilt when he sees his sin reenacted on stage.
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: -Describe Hamlet’s first strategy to discover King Claudius’s guilt. How does King Claudius react? He stages a play. The play provokes Claudius and he interrupts the action by storming out.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet’s plan is to create a play acting out his father’s death to see Claudius’ reaction. Hamlet doesn’t want to kill someone based on the word of a ghost. Hamlet also wants to make sure for himself that the ghost was telling the truth. Hamlet is going to write scenes for the actors play to perform in their play.
Detailed explanation-5: -This play-within-a-play not only helps Hamlet to judge Claudius’s guilt, but also acts as a spur for his own revenge: it shows him the murder that was done to his father and the murder that could be done to his uncle.
