Detailed explanation-1: -He resolves to devise a trap for Claudius, forcing the king to watch a play whose plot closely resembles the murder of Hamlet’s father; if the king is guilty, he thinks, he will surely show some visible sign of guilt when he sees his sin reenacted on stage.
Detailed explanation-2: -He arranges to stage a play to ctach prey. Thus Hamlet is successful to catch or test the guilty conscience of the King by enacting the play-within-play.
Detailed explanation-3: -He then hatches a plan: he’ll have the actors stage a play with a plot similar to the king’s murder. He’ll watch Claudius’s reaction to see if he seems guilty. Then Hamlet will know he can act.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet’s plan is to create a play acting out his father’s death to see Claudius’ reaction. Hamlet doesn’t want to kill someone based on the word of a ghost. Hamlet also wants to make sure for himself that the ghost was telling the truth. Hamlet is going to write scenes for the actors play to perform in their play.
Detailed explanation-5: -He tells Hamlet about how Claudius, the current King and Hamlet’s uncle, murdered him, and Hamlet swears vengeance for his father. Hamlet decides to feign madness while he tests the truth of the Ghost’s allegations (always a good idea in such situations).
