Claudius begins to feel remorseful for killing his brother (Hamlet's father and former king); which is good for Hamlet, since this had been his plan.

In Hamlet what idea does hamlet come up with to decide whether King Claudius is guilty of his fathers death?

In "Hamlet," the titular character devises a plan to confirm King Claudius's guilt by staging a play that mirrors the circumstances of his father's murder. He calls it "The Mousetrap" and intends to observe Claudius's reaction during the performance. If Claudius shows signs of guilt or distress while watching the reenactment, it will serve as evidence of his culpability in King Hamlet's death. This strategy highlights Hamlet's struggle with action and his quest for truth.
