How does hamlet react to rosencrantz and guildernstern's questions?

Hamlet responds to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's questions with a mix of wit and cynicism, revealing his awareness of their true purpose. He recognizes that they have been sent by King Claudius to spy on him and cleverly evades their inquiries.

This interaction underscores Hamlet's isolation and mistrust of those around him.
