Why couldn't Claudius bear the play in Hamlet story?

The play had been chosen and tweaked by Hamlet to resemble as closely as possible the murder of Hamlet Sr. by Claudius according to the ghost. Since the ghost was in fact telling the truth, Claudius did not want to have his crime played out in front of him. He had a number of reasons: first, as his subsequent soliloquy shows, he feels guilt about the murder and wishes he could be free of that guilt. Also, some of the audience might have made the connection and have suspected him of killing Hamlet Sr. who everyone thought had died of snakebite.

Absolutely! Just look at The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Ring brings greed upon people; they yearn for it and long for it, and are willing to do literally anything to get their hands on it. Tolkien shows us how horrible greed can be, and how it can brutally twist people, sometimes out of their minds (just look at Gollum!).
