Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -So in Hamlet, The Murder of Gonzago is a metaphorical mousetrap to catch a murderer. Christie’s play is also about catching a murderer, and that makes The Mousetrap a good allusive title for it. The connection with the thematic mice of the original radio play makes it particularly fitting.
Detailed explanation-3: -"The Mousetrap" This is Hamlet’s name since he has called the play “The Murder of Gonzago” with the Players. He hopes to catch the rat, Claudius, with the play. Most critics call this scene the Mousetrap Scene.
