Detailed explanation-1: -"When troubles come, they come not single spies but in battalions.” (Claudius, Hamlet Act IV, Scene V). All of life is in Shakespeare.
Detailed explanation-2: -The quote “When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions” was used by Claudius in Shakespeare play, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene V. Claudius meant that, when bad incidents occur, they do not happen alone and many other bad happenings occur simultaneously to contribute to human tragedy.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Why this is hire and salary, not revenge” – Hamlet soliloquy. He decides that if he kills Claudius at prayer, he’ll be acting like nothing more than a hired assassin. If Claudius goes to heaven, his punishment will be nought and Hamlet’s revenge will be incomplete.
Detailed explanation-4: -He goes on to tell Hamlet how Claudius killed him, saying “Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole with juice of cursed hebona in a vial, and in the porches of my ears did pour.” The ghost actually implicates Claudius with this sentence, making it obvious that he committed murder.
Detailed explanation-5: -Claudius rises and declares that he has been unable to pray sincerely: “My words fly up, my thoughts remain below” (III. iii. 96).
