it sounds like it's asking you about the different contexts in which Hamlet can be viewed. At the time it was written, the main interest for the masses who would have gone to see it at the theatre would have been the political intrigue, corruption and violence of the plot, whereas now we see the play as a psychological or psychonalytical study. But never forget the cathartic realisation for the audience! (no matter how nobly we go about it, revenge never ends well)
