Pleb fucks in this thread. Hamlet didn't kill claudius when he had the chance because at that moment he turned away from gods plan. The whole point was to provide evidence and then kill him when it was confirmed as his father and god wanted him to. But at that moment, Claudius was on his knees begging for gods forgiveness. Hamlet knew if he killed him then and there claudius would be forgiven and join his father and heaven. That wasn't enough for hamlet anymore, Claudius had to suffer and burn in hell. It wasn't the path to retake his rightful place any more, it became a path of retribution fueled on suffering.
Hamlet chose to become God and was rightfully punished for it in the end
