You’ll remember that in Act I Hamlet meets his father’s ghost‚ who tells his son that he was murdered by Claudius. Hamlet is full of resolve to do the right thing‚ but he makes no attempt to kill Claudius until Act III‚ Scene IV. (That attempt is frustrated when he mistakenly believes Claudius is praying.)
