King Hamlet Monologue
Act 1.5.42-91
Family Betrayal
It would be really unexpected when someone, especially a family member betrays you. This was a perfect opportunity for Claudius to betray the King as he was close to him and he would never expect it nor have measures against it. This picture perfectly describes the betrayal as the man on the left is hiding behind a mask like Claudius (and others in the play) but prepares to backstab the man on the right who has no clue of the knife behind him much like the King.

Details of the Murder
King Hamlet described his murder, where Claudius put some Cursed Hebenon Juice into his ear while he was sleeping in the orchard, this both poisoned King Hamlet and gave him leprosy. In the first picture, you could allude Claudius to the man on the right and King Hamlet to the left. The man on the left appears to have leprosy, and seems to fear the right man as he is about to be touched by him with a mischievous on his face. In the second picture, it explicitly shows Claudius pouring the juice into his ear. (Source from YouTube & Shakespeare Electronic Archive)
The woman & snakes
After King Hamlet's death, Gertrude soon married Claudius. His Ghost is angry that Claudius seduced Gertrude and that she moved on so quickly after his death, calling her a beast. I chose this image because I can see the woman being Gertrude and the Claudius being the snakes wrapping around her. The woman appears to be embracing the snakes, much like Gertrude accepting Claudius into her life. (Source from Wikipedia)
Emotional Ghost
It's obvious that King Hamlet is furious, and he has every right to be. As stated in the play, "Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand of life, of crown, of queen at once dispatch'd" (1.5.74-75). His throne, his girl and his life were wrongfully taken from him and he couldn't do anything about it.. (Source from Spreadshirt)
The Mission
Before leaving due to the sun rising, the King gives him a mission of taking vengeance on Claudius over his father's death. As he said: "If thou has nature in thee, bear it not, let not the royal bed of Denmark be a couch for luxury and damned incest." (1.5.81-83) He also said afterwards to not hurt the Queen as she will get her punishment during her final judgement. Hamlet, respecting his father's dying wishes, sets off on the mission that will spell out death. This shows that the King is a terrible father for putting his son in danger just for petty revenge The pictures below show fathers and sons speaking to each other, much like the scene in Act 1.
