Detailed explanation-1: -The play-within-a-play in Hamlet is called both The Murder of Gonzago and The Mousetrap. (Specifically, in Act 3, Scene 2, when Claudius asks, “What do you call the play?” Hamlet responds, “The Mousetrap.")
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius orders Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to take Hamlet to England. Polonius tells Claudius of his plans to spy on Hamlet’s conversation with Gertrude.
Detailed explanation-3: -The play-within-a-play tells the story of Gonzago, the Duke of Vienna, and his wife, Baptista, who marries his murdering nephew, Lucianus. Hamlet believes that the play is an opportunity to establish a more reliable basis for Claudius’s guilt than the claims of the ghost.
Detailed explanation-4: -He begs her to confess her guilt to him and to heaven. At the very least, he begs her, don’t sleep with Claudius or let him “go paddling in your neck with his damned fingers.” He asks if she knows that Claudius is sending him to England; she had forgotten.
