He is blanketed by a darkness of revenge cast upon him by the ghost of his father. Any chance he had of recovering to normal and joy is gone when the Ghost of his dad requests Hamlet look for reprisal. In spite of the fact that Hamlet himself wishes to see Claudius pay for his wrongdoing, he understands the sin in the deed of slaughtering the King. The Ghost has put Hamlet in an unfair position by requesting that he commit murder. Hamlet hates Claudius for his actions, but he would not avenge his father if the ghost had not told him too. Hamlet is intelligent and patient as well, and we see this all through the play as Hamlet postpones the revenge as long as he can. It appears to the reader that just a little time has slipped by since Hamlet's meeting with the Ghost, in any case, truth be told, months have passed by. He also misses the perfect opportunity to kill Claudius as he prays alone in his chamber and makes excuses that the timing is not yet
