Gertrude hamlet5/22/2023 As far as Hamlet not killing Claudius during prayer, there are times when Claudius is alone in which Hamlet could have killed him. For example, Hamlet has no qualms about sending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their deaths. Although at first glance these interpretations may seem valid, they are taken out of context. Others believe that Hamlet refuses to kill Claudius during prayer because that would send Claudius to a “heavenly” afterlife. Ever since William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet, the question on everyone’s mind has been “Why didn’t Hamlet kill Claudius when he had the chance?” Some people believe that fear of punishment keeps Hamlet from acting.
