Why did Claudius want to kill Hamlet?
Hamlet was causing problems for Claudius. His antics had disturbed the court and the kingdom. His killing of Polonius had deprived Claudius of his counsellor and had put him in an awkward position, since a murderer ought to be tried and put to death yet that would be politically unwise. Finally, Hamlet was on to him. Claudius had a pretty good idea that Hamlet knew that he had killed Hamlet Sr. and how it was committed. All this meant that Claudius was worrying about Hamlet instead of running the kingdom, which he had been doing quite well before all this. Claudius says, "like the hectic in my blood he rages."--it is becoming an obsession.

Why does Hamlet call his play The Mousetrap?
Hamlet doesn't actually stage a play called The Mousetrap. He asks the travelling players (The Tragedians of the City) to put on The Murder of Gonzago, which is the real name of the play. Hamlet calls it the Mousetrap because his purpose in asking them to play it is to trap Claudius into a confession of guilt.

What is the storyline to Hamlet?
Hamlet is the son of King Hamlet and Queen Gertrude of Denmark, but his father has recently died and his uncle Claudius has become king and married Queen Gertrude. Hamlet is taken to a battlement where the ghost of his father appears and tells him that he was murdered by Claudius and commands Hamlet to revenge him by killing Claudius. Hamlet decides to act crazy while looking for a chance to get at the king. His crazy behaviour induces the king to set spies on him, first his school pals Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and later his girlfriend Ophelia. Hamlet, still unsure of the ghost's veracity, gets some travelling players to put on a play which mimics the murder. Claudius's reactions confirm he is the murderer all right. Hamlet then has a chance to kill him, but holds his hand because he is praying. He then visits his mother in her room and kills the king's advisor who is also his girlfriend's father and who was spying on him for the king. The king then sends him to England to get him out of the way with instructions to the English to kill him. The death of her father drives Ophelia crazy and she drowns. Her brother arrives, desperate for revenge. Hamlet's ship gets attacked by pirates and he ends up back in England. Ophelia's brother Laertes and the king plot to kill Hamlet by staging a fencing match in which Laertes will have a poisoned sharp sword, and Claudius will give Hamlet a poisoned drink. But it all backfires. Hamlet gets hold of the poisoned sword after Laertes cuts him with it and kills Laertes. Gertrude drinks the poisoned drink and dies. Hamlet stabs Claudius and gives him the remains of the poisoned drink and then dies himself in the arms of his best friend Horatio.

Who put poison in the ear of hamlet's father?
Lol... Claudius his brother
What does Hamlet write in the murderous commission?
Claudius sent with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern an order to the king of England to have Hamlet put to death. I assume this is the "murderous commission" you are talking about. Hamlet finds it and substitutes another which is worded just the same, except it is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern who are to be killed, not Hamlet.
What plan does Claudius put into motion to keep an eye on Hamlet?
He calls Rosencrantz and Guildenstern ( his good friends) to spy on Hamlet
In hamlet What is the king's response?
"The King rises." Of course the text is not clear about exactly what Claudius is feeling when he rises. Certainly the representation of his murder of Hamlet Sr. has hit home--we know that from the following scene where he struggles with his guilt. On the one hand Claudius may rise because he is horrified by the memory of his crime, and he is distracted. On the other, Claudius may recognise the play for exactly what it is, may understand exactly what is troubling Hamlet, and rises because he refuses to put up with any more. The first may be called the "Claudius out of control" reading and the latter may be called the "Claudius in control" reading. Either one works.
