A1 Makeup Work for Absent Students 1/23

Read Hamlet, Act III, scene ii, from line 145 (the play begins) to the end of the scene (line 432).
https://www.folgerdigitaltexts.org/html/Ham.html#line-3.2.0

1. In what way(s) is the "show" (145-156) similar to the Ghost's description of the murder?
2. What exactly does Claudius do during the play that reveals his guilt?
3. Angry at Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet accuses them of trying to "play" him.  But, in typical Hamlet fashion, he doesn't just say that.  What does Hamlet compare himself to in III.ii.380-402?
4. What does Hamlet mean when he says he will "speak daggers to [his mother], but use none" (III.ii.429)?
