Detailed explanation-1: -The young Hamlet says that, for him, Denmark is a prison and he is trapped there. He feels this way because he thinks that no one in the royal court, including his own mother, can be trusted. Everyone he deals with seems to be spying on him for one reason or another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet calls Denmark a prison because he feels as if everyone is turning against him, and everyone is watching him, similar to how prisoners are watched in a prison, and he says that Denmark is the worst of the prisons, strictly because there is no one he can trust, not even his friends.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet is using a metaphor to compare Denmark, his home, to a prison. This metaphor shows that, like someone in prison, Hamlet feels as if he is trapped and being watched all the time.
Detailed explanation-4: -A line from the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare. An officer of the palace guard says this after the ghost of the dead king appears, walking over the palace walls.
