The Dilemma

In the play Hamlet struggles to kill Claudius. He struggles not on how to kill him but when to kill him. He is trying to catch Claudius doing something bad so he can definitely go to hell so that it postpones the killing.

When he attempts to kill Claudius, Claudius is confessing in the church telling all his sins and being sincere. When Claudius is confessing Hamlet feels sorrow for him and cannot kill him because he is not doing anything bad. Hamlet waits for the right moment to do it but it has not come because he is in a very religious place and not doing anything wrong.
