Brianna's Questions

Brianna wrote "My first question is Does King Claudius think that Hamlet is on to him? Cause as soon as the play ends he wants Hamlet taken away to England. The second question is why didn't Hamlet just kill his uncle?"

I think Claudius is not fully aware that Hamlet is on to him because he thinks that Hamlet is partly insane but i think he slightly thinks that Hamlet is a threat to him because if his secret was revealed, then Hamlet would take his throne and he would be proclaimed a murderer. So Claudius just wants to let all the issues die and send Hamlet away to stop the issue about the death of the king.

Hamlet just didnt kill his uncle because he caught Claudius praying for forgiveness when he was alone. Hamlet wants to kill Claudius when he is not praying and when he has no chance of going to heaven or being forgiven of his sins. He will kill Claudius when he is upto his dirty deeds again.
