What Hamlet means when he says "The play's the thing/ Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King" is that he will watch the king during the play and see if he reacts guilty or not.

Prince Hamlet decides to take action after his father's ghost reveals him that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle, Claudius. In order to make sure that what the ghost told him is true, <u>Hamlet draws up a plan and directs a play that presents the way in which King Hamlet was murdered</u>, according to the words of his father's ghost.  In that way, <u>Hamlet tries to find out if Claudius is truly guilty by detecting signs of guilt in his uncle's face and paying attention to his reaction while he is watching the play. </u>

My favorite sport would be ice skating. It is challenging to keep your balance, but it is fun as well. I find that watching skaters on television, help me with my techniques. Skating is fun when you have a partner or you just skate alone. Ice skating at an indoor rink or outside when it is cold, either way it is fun and exciting. I enjoy learning new moves on the ice.
