Detailed explanation-1: -It means that Hamlet is using the play as an instrument to touch the conscience of Claudius. He wants to make him aware of the fact that he knows who actually killed his father.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet engages in yet another word play with Claudius, taunting him with images of rotting flesh and the corruption of death. He pointedly tells Claudius that just as a fisherman eats a fish that has eaten a worm that was in the grave eating at a king, every man can progress through the guts of beggar.
Detailed explanation-4: -“To thine own self be true.” “Though this be madness, yet there is method in ‘t.” “Brevity is the soul of wit.” “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
Detailed explanation-5: -’To be, or not to be: that is the question’. Arguably the most famous quotation in the whole of Hamlet, this line begins one of Hamlet’s darkest and most philosophical soliloquies.
