Act III.2

In Act III the environment is very mistic. Shakeaspear shows a mutual betrail between the characters. The King Claudius wants to know what is happening to Hamlet, why is he so transformed so he asked Ophelia to be a spy for him: "For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,/ That he, as ’twere by accident, may here/ Affront Ophelia./ Her father and myself (lawful espials)/ Will so bestow ourselves that, seeing unseen,/ We may of their encounter frankly judge,/ And gather by him, as he is behaved,/ If ’t be the affliction of his love or no/ That thus he suffers for." (III.1.30-38). Here we can see that Claudius wants to know what is happening to Hamlet and he is arranging plans so he can figure it out.

Hamlet does not stay behind and also planned to uncover Claudius and Gertrude. He is almost sure that they had to do with his father`s death. Therefore, Hamlet set-up a play with a similar situation as that one he was going through and he would notice if they had something to do because of their reaction while watching the play: "The Mousetrap. Marry, how? Tropically. This play is the image of a murder done in Vienna." (III.2.22-23). In this act there has been shown more anger of Hamlet towards his fathers death and it is shown by the Mousetrap.
