To kill, or not to kill. That is the question. I hope everyone got that little Hamlet joke. That is though the question of this blog post. Did Hamlet make the right choice in spareing his uncle for the time, or should he have just taken the opportunity, killed his uncle, and made the play a whole lot shorter. Hamlet chose to spare his uncle simply because he didn't want his uncle to be let off the hook and get into heaven. Hamlet saw that his uncle was praying. Having just being reminded of how he murdered his brother, Claudius seemed to be repenting for his sins. This is what Hamlet and I believe most others would have thought if in the same situation. So the main question is should this have stopped Hamlet from avenging his father.
I believe Hamlet made the right choice. He believed that his uncle would go to heaven if he killed him then, so he waited for another opportunity. He didn't know he would kill Polonius and have to leave. He wanted to make sure his uncle wouldn't get into heaven so he decided to wait until his uncle has done something else wrong and didn't pray to cleanse himself. If it was me and i had the same beliefs i would have done the same thing
