Hamlet, still torn between killing his uncle and avenging his father, makes an important decision. He will test his uncle to determine whether he is innocent or guilty of the death of the elderly Hamlet. He will ask players to act out a scene that re-enacts the sequence in which Hamlet imagines that his uncle has killed his father. He assumes that Claudio will definitely react if he is guilty. When the moment of murder arrives in the theater, Claudius quickly leaves the room, proving his guilt to Hamlet
