I find it pretty fascinating how Hamlet knows how to act with each different character. I find his facade to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern especially brilliant. He knows that they are spies so he does not cooperate with their tricks. They are impressed with his actions so much they even say, "What a piece of work is man!." Another interesting thing that happened was Hamlet tells the Players they have a special gift of being able to become emotional about something that is fiction. I found this ironic because Hamlet wants to act emotional to trick the king.
