Answer 1

Answer 2

Claudius sends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to go back to England with Hamlet. Before the three of them leave Claudius sends a letter to England telling them to kill Hamlet once he steps on to their soil. The letter is to be delivered by Rosencratnz and Guildenstern, the both of them do not know what the letter says and are merely following the king's orders. It's important to note that Rosencratnz and Guildenstern are Hamlet's good friends and would not have delivered the letter if they had known it was in fact Hamlet's death sentence. Hamlet finds this letter and is convinced that Rosencratnz and Guildenstern were on Claudius' side and wanted him dead as well. In an act of madness Hamlet destroys the letter and rewrites a new one demanding that Rosencratnz and Guildenstern be killed when they step foot in England-no questions asked. He then seals the letter with a seal his father left him.

Important things to look it and question would be : why is has the seal on him at all times and the sudden burst of irrational revenge towards two of his best friends.
