Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet has reason to believe that his uncle is guilty but has no proof. The Murder of Gonzago, also known as The Mousetrap, is a play Hamlet has performed in order to unveil his uncle’s innocence or guilt in the death of his father. Hamlet adds scenes depicting his father’s death into the action of the play.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet meets with the actors and instructs them as to the nature of proper acting. He tells them not to overact, and not to use large gestures. He wishes them to be honest; he asks them to mirror nature, to be entirely realistic in their portrayals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet secretly requests that the players memorize a twelve to sixteen lined speech the prince will write (II. ii. 497-501). Hamlet makes this request so as to have the actors recreate King Hamlet’s death, forcing Claudius to admit his crime.
Detailed explanation-4: -Act III Scene 2 The Murder of Gonzago Hamlet: Advanced.
Detailed explanation-5: -This play-within-a-play not only helps Hamlet to judge Claudius’s guilt, but also acts as a spur for his own revenge: it shows him the murder that was done to his father and the murder that could be done to his uncle.
