Hamlet seeks the objective truth of his new situation, believing he has been wrongly overturned from being the Prince/heir to the throne,though his apprehensions puts him in a treasonous position, he perseveres craftily, even after having moral proof, to obtain general objective evidence, in the last scene when Laertes states the King is responsible, even after an interlude when the court, calling 'Treason' , does not make it clear if they mean Hamlet's stabbing of Claudius with the poisoned foil, or Claudius' preparing both it and the poisoned cup which kills Gertrude. At his death, he is vindicated, but he knew the game was very dangerous.
