Hamlet
You're conflicted, and you need certainty. You have to prove to yourself that Claudius really did murder your father before you act.
"My lord!" Horatio and the guards were running frantically toward you, having finally caught up. They ask you what happened, but your mind is too full of questions of your own to deal with them right now. You focus on swearing them to secrecy first, giving yourself some more time to think about what to do.
How to determine your uncle's guilt... Claudius, the shifty man he is, has probably covered his tracks very well. It's his expertise. You don't know if questioning guards and servants on duty would turn up anything useful. The same goes for trying to tempt him into making a mistake in the future.
Perhaps what you need is something that will shatter his mask. Shake everyone to the core - Claudius, your mother, and all of Claudius's toadies...
