The context demands that Hamlet is using conscience in the French sense of "consciousness" ,"awareness". It is the anticipation of death - or of its possible sequel in an afterlife that Christianity would have us believe highly unpleasant for those committing the sin of suicide - that makes us shy away from this "consummation devoutly to be wished".
Shakespeare. To be more specific Hamlet, talking to himself, in the play "Hamlet" during a Act 3, Scene 1
The conscience makes cowards of us all simply because we think about what may happen due of our actions, hence we are scared to face what may come after death since all man is scared of the unknown.
Hamlet is referring to his real father, who is dead, not his step-father. He means that his mother has insulted the memory of her late husband, the deceased king, by marrying Hamlet's uncle soon after the late king's death.
When faced with a decision, our conscience guides us to think about the obligations we have to that choice and our principles.
I think he was afraid Hamlet was going to find out that Claudius killed Hamlet's father.
It is called "The Murder of Gonzago". But Hamlet gives it a new name, "The Mousetrap", because he intends to trap Claudius with it.
This is from Hamlet's "To be or not to be" speech. Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought; And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard, their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. This could be rephrased a bit: That's how conscience makes cowards of us all And how our strong resolve Fades as we think about the consequences It's how monumentally important plans Being closely examined, are derailed And don't actually ever happen.
I think it means nay

he think that hamlet is going mad due the love. the love between Hamlet and Ophelia.
I think its 'The Mouse Trap'. It's called "Murder Of Gonzago" but Hamlet calls it mousetrap.

I think Claudius was a bad character because he killed King Hamlet, Prince Hamlet's father.
It is not clear from the text. Hamlet appears to think so when he says "Why, man, they did make love to this employment.", but then, he is answering Horatio's rebuke for his callousness about murdering Ros and Guil, and so may be choosing to believe what is easiest for his conscience. It is clear that the orders were sealed and that Ros and Guil had not read them, but it is possible and even plausible that Claudius, to lend credence to the orders, had orally instructed the messengers on their tenor.
I think your own conscience.
I think he was afraid Hamlet was going to find out that Claudius killed Hamlet's father.
I think when the person realize that he/wrong.
