Hamlet's Dilemma

Hamlet's Dilemma

Hamlet's thought process of not killing Claudius intrigued me. His thoughts of Claudius being forgiven while praying shows that both are them are very religious. In my opinion Hamlet did the right thing not killing Claudius at the moment he had. It is said that God is forgiving and if he killed Claudius while he was praying and saying his sins, Claudius would have gone to heaven. Hamlet wants to kill him while he is sinning, so he will have the same pain that his own brother has felt. Hamlet should wait for the opportunity where Claudius is unjust and committing a sin. Even though as he was praying he committed one of the seven deadly sins. "GREED" Claudius shows greed throughout his speech and still asks God if he can be forgiven, but still keep the goods that he stole. So I believe that even if Hamlet didn't hesitate he would have still suffered the same fate. What goes around comes around. Claudius must have never been told this before.
