silence

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'suppress' is the first definition.
(silencing is a kind of suppressing)

'rest of hamlet?' is the second definition.
'silence' can be an answer for 'rest' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'of hamlet?' bit.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for silence that I've seen before include "Quietness" , "Noiselessness" , "What's left of burnt coal" , "It is said to be golden" , "Lack of sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
