An example of this is seen in Act III, when Hamlet has his knife over the head of Claudius, prepared to murder him, and talks himself out of it. Instead, Hamlet writes a play in which the actors play out the same story the ghost tells Hamlet. His plan is to study Claudius’s reaction to the play to determine his guilt.

Another time he sent Paul, who was slow witted, to fetch a left-handed monkey wrench from the garage when he knew well that a left-handed monkey wrench did not exist.
