Detailed explanation-1: -What prompts Hamlet to say, “My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth"? Hamlet wants his revenge on Claudius to be violent. He wishes he’d taken the opportunity to kill him previously.
Detailed explanation-2: -5. What prompts Hamlet to say, “My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth!"? He realizes his father has been murdered, his uncle is a murderer, his mother is living in an incestuous marriage, and the soldiers he has just seen are going to kill each other over a little piece of land which is not worth anything.
Detailed explanation-3: -He says he doesn’t want to murder him while the man is praying because he’s afraid he’ll send Claudius’ soul straight to “heaven.” Revenge, for Hamlet, isn’t simply about killing Claudius-it’s about making sure he suffers in Hell, just like he thinks his father is doing. My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!
Detailed explanation-4: -“Then trip him that his heels may kick at heaven/ And that his soul may be as damned and black/ As hell whereto he goes” ” – Hamlet soliloquy. He resolves to wait until he is certain that Claudius will go to hell, by killing him when he’s committing a sin.
Detailed explanation-5: -7 No place, indeed, should murder sanctuarize; Revenge should have no bounds. 8 I am satisfied in nature, Whose motive in this case should stir me most To my revenge.
