Answers:
- It reveals Hamlet’s anger with himself.
- It reveals Hamlet’s hesitation to act.

Why: the figurative language (self‑deprecating metaphors and comparisons to actors) expresses Hamlet’s scorn and frustration at his own inaction, and it emphasizes his inner conflict and inability to move decisively.
