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.
The Ghost. But Hamlet had already cast Claudius in this role, as can be seen in his line "O my prophetic soul! Mine uncle!". Although Claudius is certainly a murderer, and a wrongdoer, he is much more sympathetic when we do not look at him through Hamlet or his father's eyes.
Claudius (the king) respects Hamlet as a son in the beginning. He even tells Hamlet that he hopes that he sees him as a father figure. Claudius views Hamlet as a son and hopes to eventually have Hamlet view him as a father.
Shakespeare created the characters of Goneril, Claudius and Cassius as we know them. He did create much more villainous villains than any of these three--Goneril is pretty nasty but Claudius isn't that bad and Cassius is the hero's best friend. What about Iago, Aaron the Moor, or Richard III?
Claudius was the brother of old King Hamlet (father of Prince Hamlet the hero of the play). When King Hamlet died, Claudius became king and married his widow Gertrude (Prince Hamlet's mother). Hamlet felt that it was too soon after his father's death for them to marry and also there used the idea that your husband or wife siblings were your siblings so to marry them was a kind of incest. So Hamlet wasn't very keen on his uncle to begin with - then he saw his father's ghost and found that Claudius had murdered his father. Read the play or at least see the film - the one with Mel Gibson isn't bad. Or read the prose version in Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. It is worth studying properly.
No that is wrong. It should be "Smoke does not bother Susan as much as me". use the same sentence without putting Susan in it and you have the correct answer "Smoke does not bother me" not "Smoke does not bother I"

"Twice as much bother" does not have a specific rhyming word pair. Rhyming word pairs typically consist of two words that have the same ending sound, such as "bother" and "brother" or "bother" and "another."
