Why was Claudius important?
In terms of the play characters, Claudius is important because he's the villain, opposite Hamlet as the hero. During the play, when we think of the characters as real people, Claudius is important because he's the King.

When does hamlet put on the play for king claudius?
He doesn't put the play on. The players do, at his suggestion, in Act 3 Scene 2.
What steps does Claudius take to rid himself of hamlet?
Hamlet decides to kill Claudius, but first he needs to confirm that what the ghost of his father said was true. So, he devises the play to see if Claudius' guilty conscience will betray him. His suspicion confirmed, he almost murders him him the chapel, but when he sees that Claudius is praying, Hamlet spares him until he can kill Claudius at such a time that it will condemn his soul. The irony is: we learn in soliloquy that Claudius is not able to pray.
Why is Hamlet the only one suspicious about his father's death?
Hamlet is disposed to believe ill of Claudius. He dislikes him and resents his marriage to his mother. That is why when the Ghost names Claudius as his murderer, Hamlet says "O my prophetic soul!"--he had already suspected as much. Because we hear Claudius admit his guilt (just before the "To Be or Not to Be" speech and in Claudius's "O my offence is rank" soliloquy) we know that the ghost is telling the truth. Otherwise, it might be plausible to believe that Claudius is innocent, as everyone including Gertrude seems to believe.
Why does Hamlet decide not to kill Claudius after the traveling player's play?
