Obviously, this is a complex question.

Hamlet's major issue throughout the play is, in fact, that he refuses to act. Even when he has proof of Claudius' guilt and an opportunity for revenge, he refuses to act on it (for fear that by killing Claudius while the King is praying that he is actually doing the King a favor by sending him to heaven). It isn't until he has the realization that "the readiness is all" that he is even able to act.

Of course, by this time, he has proof that the King did, in fact, kill his father.

That all being said, Hamlet is considered to be a revenge tragedy. He does not attempt to bring Claudius to justice in any court of law (nor can he, since Claudius is the rightful king) but takes matters into his own hands. Yes, Hamlet does take the time to make sure that he is killing the correct person, but when he finally kills Claudius, it is for revenge. Justice is, in this play, left in God's hands.

they say Hamlet changed into incorrect because the author tries to placed across it that way contained in the writing. with information from the end of the e book everybody is lifeless, to boot as Hamlet. each and each and every of the damage and destruction surpassed off because of his movements (except perchance Ophelia, reason she drowned). often human beings argue that it changed into written to placed across what hate does on your recommendations and soul. in case you sit down there and detest someone, no one somewhat notices it except you - which skill it would not difficulty everybody yet you. the different human being is off being chuffed without idea you even hate them. It festers in you and gnaws at your recommendations till you won't be able to take it, like Hamlet, and snap. often it is idea that he must have confronted his mom about or taken a better non violent direction in exposing the king, not basically immediately up attempting to kill the guy. however, the great element about literature is that you'll imagine of it and interpret it however you want.

I feel that it was justice. He was trying to right a wrong. His uncle killed his father to gain the kingdom and the queen. Hamlet killed him to even the odds.

revenge, justice and pure disgust. He thought his mother's marriage to her brother in law to be incestuous.

I think Hamlet himself didn't have that answer!
