Hamlet wants to kill Claudius while he is sinning.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In another moment of hesitation in Act Three, Hamlet aborts the killing of Claudius because the man’s praying, and Hamlet worries that his uncle will go to Heaven if he dies while praying.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet delays killing Claudius because Claudius represents Hamlet’s innermost desires to sleep with his mother Gertrude. And by killing Claudius, Hamlet would be killing a part of himself.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet did not murder Claudius as he did not want him to go to heaven. At first, he wasn’t sure about his uncle’s guilt and didn’t strive to stab an innocent man. Once Hamlet saw Claudius’ reaction to The Murder of Gonzago, all the doubts disappeared. Yet an opportunity to kill him appeared when Claudius was praying.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet is appalled at the revelation that his father has been murdered, and the ghost tells him that as he slept in his garden, a villain poured poison into his ear-the very villain who now wears his crown, Claudius. Hamlet’s worst fears about his uncle are confirmed.
Detailed explanation-5: -In act 3 Hamlet has the chance to kill Claudius while he is alone in his chamber, but decides not to because he thinks he is praying. In his soliloquy, Hamlet expresses his reasons not to kill him right then, stating that he’d actually be doing him a favor.
