Choices, Choices
Hamlet's hesitation makes complete sense to me. He isn't one hundred percent sure if Claudius is the one who killed his father and killing an innocent person no matter what religion or mind set the person is in, isn't right. That's why I think that Hamlet made a wise choice by hesitating and making sure that Claudius was the guilty party before doing anything rash. Besides the ethical reasons Hamlet is the heir to the throne and he has to watch what he does. He can't just go around doing whatever he wants because one day he will be the King of Denmark and how are people supposed to trust him as their leader when he killed the previous King. It was a wise decision to have the Mousetrap play occur at the castle so he could witness with his own eyes whether or not Claudius was guilty.
