Why couldn't Claudius bear the play in Hamlet story?
The play had been chosen and tweaked by Hamlet to resemble as closely as possible the murder of Hamlet Sr. by Claudius according to the ghost. Since the ghost was in fact telling the truth, Claudius did not want to have his crime played out in front of him. He had a number of reasons: first, as his subsequent soliloquy shows, he feels guilt about the murder and wishes he could be free of that guilt. Also, some of the audience might have made the connection and have suspected him of killing Hamlet Sr. who everyone thought had died of snakebite.

True guilt is the feeling of remorse or responsibility for a genuine wrongdoing, while false guilt is feeling guilty for something that is not your fault or beyond your control.

Why does Hamlet call his play The Mousetrap?
Hamlet doesn't actually stage a play called The Mousetrap. He asks the travelling players (The Tragedians of the City) to put on The Murder of Gonzago, which is the real name of the play. Hamlet calls it the Mousetrap because his purpose in asking them to play it is to trap Claudius into a confession of guilt.

Why is the ghost correct to call Claudius a smiling villain?
The ghost is correct to call Claudius a "smiling villain" because Claudius presents a façade of charm and benevolence while concealing his treachery and guilt. He appears to be a competent and caring leader, but in reality, he has committed fratricide and usurped the throne. This duality highlights the theme of appearance versus reality, emphasizing how evil can be masked by a pleasant exterior. Claudius's duplicitous nature ultimately reveals the corruption at the heart of the Danish court.
