Detailed explanation-1: -So when Hamlet tells us “the play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king, ” he’s saying that Claudius ’ guilty conscience will shine through when he’s watching the play that Hamlet’s arranged. It’s literal.
Detailed explanation-2: -By this remark, “The play’s the thing”, Hamlet tried to check whether his uncle Claudius actually murdered his father or not.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet hatches his plan to determine Claudius’ guilt: he has heard that sometimes guilty people are so moved by seeing similar crimes to the ones they’ve committed acted out before them that they will confess everything there and then. Thus will Claudius’ murder ‘speak’, even without having a tongue to do so.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answers 1. Hamlet sets up his play to reflect Claudius murdering King Hamlet Sr. Hamlet looks to see how Claudius reacts to this. When Claudius is flustered, “give me some light", Hamlet knows he has caught his guilty uncle.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hamlet Outsmarts Claudius Hamlet says, ‘’They are not near my conscience.
