"To Kill or Not Kill," That is The Question...
Hamlet's hesitation to kill Claudius is completely understandable. He wasn't scared, he just wanted the right time to do it. Especially, since Claudius had the idea of repenting for his crime. He wanted to catch Claudius at the right time where he wasn't changing for the better. Personally, I don't think I would have the guts to kill someone, because that would put me at the same level as a murder. I do think Claudius killed Hamlet's father. There were multiple times where he started to become worried or nervous while watching Hamlet's play. Then he began to ask God what should he do to repent. For any reason Claudius did not kill his brother and Hamlet killed Claudius, there would be much misery throughout the play for Hamlet and family.

But it would be a great cause if he had suffered the death the way his own blood suffered it. You know, get a taste back of your own medicine to see how it taste or felt like. If Claudius wanted to repent then he would have confessed to the truth so people won't think Hamlet is crazy. But Claudius doesn't want that because in my opinion he still wants the honey/fun/throne/etc. I respect your opinion though.
ReplyDeleteI think that Hamlet is a bit of a coward and he did not have the guts to kill Claudius. Hamlet was afraid at the moment and he was thinking of ways not to kill Claudius so he wouldn't kill him.
