Hamlet has obviously shown in the play how his uncertainty in his decisions slows him down in killing Claudius. His indecision makes him spend more time thinking about the situation and the possible consequences. In the Act 2 scene, Hamlet has not yet kept his promise to his father. Hamlet refrains from avenging his father. Hamlet refuses to act as if he knows what he is doing when in reality he has not discovered whether the act of killing is heroic and moral or cowardly and immoral. “O revenge! Well, what an asshole I am! It is very courageous that I, the son of a dear murdered father, driven to my revenge by heaven and hell, should, like a whore, open my heart with words and fall cursing like a very dull , a scullion. ! Go for it, because! (2.2 579-585). Despite all this, instead of seeking immediate revenge, Hamlet wants to know if his ghostly father is telling the truth. This takes a while as Hamlet will eventually realize this is true later in the play. Hamlet has had plenty of time to kill King Claudius but it is his uncertainty about his father's words that delays revenge. Later in Act 3, Scene 3, King Claudius is seen kneeling in prayer as he confesses his sins..
