Can someone please help with my Hamlet essay?

How does Shakespeare use the contrast between honesty and deceit in Hamlet to explore ideas?

It would be really helpful if anyone could suggest specific incidents where Shakespeare contrasts lies and deceit in Hamlet and also, specific ideas.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not going to do your work for you, but I can try to point you in the right direction.

Hamlet is the master of deceit: he is very careful about who he is speaking to and how he speaks to him/her. Look at how Hamlet speaks to someone like Horatio versus how he speaks to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. How he speaks to Gertrude versus how he speaks to Polonius.

Good luck.
