Use of double-dealing in Hamlet   Hamlet is a play by William Shakespeare most a prince named Hamlet who was spoken to by the ghost of his unwarranted develop telling Hamlet to deplete his uncle Claudius (the new king) beca phthisis Claudius killed him. The story revolves around Hamlets dillema of how to kill his uncle while be deceptive enough so that no unrivalled finds out about the ghost. This es learn will prove how deception is frequently used in Hamlet for many reasons. Claudius uses deception to protect himself from being prosecuted for his crime of cleansing the King. No one knows what the deal is with Gertrude because she deceives everybody by retention to herself all the time keeping everyone from knowing anything. By using quotes from the intensity I will prove how these two (Claudius and Gertrude) and among a few others , use deception for different reasons and in different ways. A lot of the gene smokeion it is to protect someone, or themselvs beca use they believe that the truth will hurt more than than their lies. Claudius decieves everyone in different ways and at different times , eer and only to protect himself from everyone else finding out that he killed the king. We cant truly say that he deceived Gertrude or not because we still dont know if she knows about Claudius killing the king or not because that is part of her own deception , provided we know that he deceived the people and Hamlet himself (before he talks to the ghost). This future(a) quote comes from the ghost of the king convicting Claudius of the murder ,If thou didst ever thy beloved father love- r until nowge his foul and most unnatural murder(p.57, act1,scene5 ,lines29-31). This quote proves that Claudius in truth did commit the murder.

It means that he actually is the rat and is the evil one in the play. Hamlets deception , possibly the cruelest of all. Maybe even though Hamlets deception was derived from Claudiuss deception , it is the one that killed everybody.
