How does Hamlet plan to catch the conscience of king?

To catch the king's conscience, Hamlet decides to stage a play called _The Murder of Gonzago_. This play directly paralleled the events surrounding his father's death but with the names changed. Hamlet believed that if he could reenact the murder in front of the king, it would stir up feelings of guilt and reveal if Claudius was indeed responsible for his father's death.
