Detailed explanation-1: -Out of respect for Hamlet’s mom (it’ll hurt his mom if Claudius hurt Hamlet) and because the public adores Hamlet-he doesn’t want the uprising.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a public show of concern, Claudius explains to his assembled courtiers that he cannot jail his nephew because Hamlet remains too popular with the people.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does Claudius want Hamlet to remain at court? Claudius is afraid Hamlet might lead a coup against him or a foreign enemy might persuade him into a plot to overthrow him. About how long has Hamlet’s father been dead?
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius explains that he acted as he did, burying Polonius secretly and not punishing Hamlet for the murder, because both the common people and the queen love Hamlet very much.
Detailed explanation-5: -Again Hamlet reveals his preoccupation with the disparity between appearance and reality. Claudius appears to be a powerful man, yet harbors a decided weakness for wine and revelry. Thus, says Hamlet, Claudius makes all Danes seem drunkards to their critics and attracts disrespect from both allies and enemies.
