Hamlet
Your Father dies, you suspect your uncle, a Ghost tells you that in-fact your uncle did kill your father, and the ghost tells you to seek vengeance. In Hamlet's time the only way of getting was to kill the person. So, why does Hamlet wait so long to get his revenge? That question of time has been a key to the book. It brings up so many questions with it. Does Hamlet believe the ghost? Is Hamlet making up what the ghost tells him to do? Is it in his nature? Are there other factors playing in to the plot that are hindering his revenge? Is Hamlet trying to get justice, or is Hamlet just plain weak? There are many reasons why Hamlet takes so long to exact his revenge on his uncle. "The fact that Claudius is guilty is taken for granted, and so it seems unfortunate that Hamlet cannot act sooner, but without this knowledge acting too quickly would be a mistake" (H: Wor J?). We as the readers or playgoers know that Claudius killed King Hamlet, but is Hamlet privy to that information? I think that Hamlet suspects his uncle, but Hamlet does not adequate evidence to enact his revenge. An element of the play is Claudius' guilt, or rather Hamlet's knowledge of his guilt. In the
The Estrangement from his mother is probably the most important form of estrangement that Hamlet risks feeling while trying to kill Claudius. He was not sure if he could go through with it, but in the end he had to do what was right for the time. But by killing Claudius, Hamlet would be cruel. If Hamlet wanted to he could organize, and overthrow Claudius. The reason it is so great is because Hamlet must realize that Claudius killed his father, and then married his mother. Hamlet recognizes the voice of the devil (or rather his subconscious) telling him: You're absolutely right. There are primarily five levels of the estrangement. Killing Claudius would "make him feel guilt at having violated religious coda, thus representing estrangement at the level of religious consciousness" (Paradigm). The first form of estrangement is: Religious estrangement. play there is no hard evidence of Claudius killing his brother until Claudius confessed his sins. "Until that point we are weighing the ghost's story against the Claudius' story" (Wor J). Since King Hamlet was caught without confessing, why should the murderer get away with it? I believe that is definitely why Hamlet decided to wait. There are five other major reasons why Hamlet could not get his revenge. He doesn't want to be a person who gives in to his feelings, but in the end Hamlet does give into the mob mentality, and kills Laerties, and Claudius. Hamlet realizes that women might, because of their emotion, commit serious immoral mistakes.
