Detailed explanation-1: -What is Claudius’ reaction to the play? He becomes upset in the middle of the play; he rises and makes them stop performing. 54. Hamlet says to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: “Why do you think I am easier to be played upon than a pipe?” Why does he ask that?
Detailed explanation-2: -As the play progresses, Claudius’s mounting fear of Hamlet’s insanity leads him to ever greater self-preoccupation; when Gertrude tells him that Hamlet has killed Polonius, Claudius does not remark that Gertrude might have been in danger, but only that he would have been in danger had he been in the room.
Detailed explanation-3: -Claudius asks Hamlet for the play’s title, to which Hamlet replies, The Mousetrap. He says that the play presents the true story of a murder carried out in Vienna. He explains the action of the play, and Ophelia congratulates Hamlet for his story-telling skill.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
