Hamlet speaks an aside. What conclusion can be drawn about Hamlet based on his words and his way of speaking?

An aside is a remark spoken so the audience can hear it, but the other characters onstage—here, Claudius—are not meant to hear it. This suggests Hamlet is expressing thoughts or feelings he wants to keep from Claudius. The aside does not by itself show that Hamlet is shy around Claudius or loves him.
