-in Claudius soliloquy, Hamlet does not proceed with the killings because he does not want to send Claudius to heaven during prayer, he wants to send him to hell
*the ghost tells Hamlet to not kill Gertrude but to let her live with the pale cast of guilt
-Claudius feels guilty because he knows Hamlet is out to get him and that he is unable to enjoy his new life with Gertrude
-When Hamlet speaks to Ophelia in act III he is very sexual and disrespectful
-After Hamlet stabs Polonius, he goes absolutely insane and goes off on his mother
-with Polonius death, hamlet goes from a character of words to a character of action And a speaker with more integrity
-in this context murder is a catalyst for people to realize who they truly are
