Help with english lit a level essay!

Hello! I have to write an essay on Hamlet (relating to crime writing) and how he can be seen as a detective. The actual statement is: ‘By the end of act 1, it is clear that Hamlet is to play the role of the detective. To what extent do you agree with this view?’ but we can also mention act 2 as well. Any help would be appreciated as I have no idea what to write! Thanks :smile:
Focus on the ways in which Hamlet pretends to be a detective. Use a few different quotes to defend your points that are made in the essay and also give examples too. Read beyond the lines of the text. Highlight any key words.
