Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This metaphor symbolism Hamlet as a pipe that is trying to be played by someone who cannot play the pipe. Hamlet has compared playing the flute to lying and because Guildenstern cannot play the pipe he is directly accused of being unable to lie.

Hope this helped!!
