Spying on Claudius (the suspect of his father’s murder) and staging a play about regicide both fail to work‚ and the difficulty of finding any moral truths quickly takes a toll on Hamlet. For example‚ in Act III scene IV‚ Hamlet converses directly with the ghost in front of his mother. This is unsettling to Gertrude‚ as it would be to anyone.
