Hamlet's "play within a play" attempted to recreate the murder of his father in order to cause the suspected murderer, the King, to admit the crime. "If he but blench, I know my course" (Act II, Scene 2). The contrived reality of Hamlet's play so closely approached the actual event, that the King not only "blenched," but rushed from the room, thereby displaying his guilt.
