What Was Hamlet's Goal

In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Hamlet’s main goal throughout the play is to kill Claudius; this also happened to be the main problem Hamlet fought the play. Hamlet kept hesitating to kill Claudius, he would always say now is not the time. Hamlet knew if he wanted revenge he had to kill Claudius; while he was sinning so Claudius would not have time to be forgiven for his sins; just like Hamlet’s father. Taking revenge and killing Claudius is a difficult task for Hamlet to accomplish, Hamlet questions everything before acting upon his goal.
Hamlet’s father King Hamlet got murdered by Claudius by pouring poison in King Hamlet’s ear while he was asleep. Because of this King Hamlet never got the chance to be forgiven for all his sins;

Hamlet was ready, he approached Claudius, took his sword and had it right next to Claudius’s head. Except before Hamlet could act he noticed Claudius was praying. Hamlet decides he can’t kill Claudius because he will die while his sins were being forgiven. Hamlet slowly moves the sword away from Claudius and puts it away and walks away. Hamlet goes on and on saying to himself that he needs to do it “When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage, Or in the’ incestuous pleasure of his bed, At game, a-swearing, or about some act That has no relish of salvation in ’t—“ (3.3,95-97). So Claudius has no time to be forgiven, because Hamlet believes that Claudius should not be forgiven for his sins, and Hamlet wants Claudius's Sole to be “damned and black”. Although Hamlet strongly believes that, it also is making himself keep delaying. Except one day when Hamlet was talking to Ophelia Hamlet hears a noise and asks ophelia where her father is. Ophelia explains how he is home and Hamlet without hesitating stabs the curtain. Hamlet notices he killed someone and was hoping it was Claudius, turns out it was not it was Polonius, Ophelia’s father. Hamlet doesn’t delay or hesitate in stabbing the curtain but when it came to killing Claudius Hamlet delays
