Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet’s heart suffered a blow of treason, a betrayal of his trust. He could not let his friends become enemies without a punishment. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern betrayed their friend and worked for Claudius, Hamlet’s enemy.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did Hamlet see to it that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would be put to death instead of himself? Did he feel guilty about that? he rewrote the letters in his fancy handwriting and used his seal. He doesn’t feel guilty about it one bit because they were bringing him to his death.
Detailed explanation-3: -Claudius sends Hamlet, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern to England with a letter for the King to condemn Hamlet to death. Hamlet tricks the pair by replacing his name on the death sentence with theirs, and the two are killed by the end of the play.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is also revealing that one of Claudius’s considerations in seeking to have Hamlet murdered in far-off England, rather than merely executing him in Denmark, is that he is beloved by the common people of Denmark-“loved of the distracted multitude, ” as Claudius says (IV. iii. 4).
