It is very surprising to me how young Hamlet has the restrain to control his actions after he knows for sure that Claudius killed his father. When the actors perform the play Hamlet set up about a murder, Claudius could not sit still and watch it so he left. This is when the prince knew he was the one who murdered his father. So young Hamlet goes to find Claudius and get revenge for his father’s death, but when he finds him he is praying. Claudius knows his secret is out so he is trying to make things good with God before he is killed. However when Hamlet sees him praying he does not want to kill him because he wants his soul to be damned instead of being cleansed before he dies. I guess it is because I do not believe the same things that they do but if I was about to kill someone, them praying would not stop me. But prince Hamlet was able to control his actions and just walk away. That is some serious self control going on right there. But in the end Hamlet gets his revenge by stabbing Claudius with the poisoned sword and forcing him to drink the rest of the poisoned wine. It is too bad that prince Hamlet had to die along with everyone else in this play. My question is who is going to take over the throne now that the royal family is all gone???
