I think the other thing he would have done other than killing his uncle isto just run away. He is filled in a community where he doesnt have anyone he can trust and his mom basically betrayedhim by marrying his uncle that killed his father. I think the only way he would have been able to live through this was to move to somewhere far away.

I don't think killing his uncle would make his life easier. It might make it more burdensome because he has to live with the guilt that he killed someone for the rest of his life. Also, he would probably have to take on the position of king after his uncle died which means more responsibility for him. I think Hamlet will still be depressed about his father's death even if he was successful in killing his uncle.

I think that it's too late for Hamlet to try and change his mindset. As we know, he's already on his way to becoming insane and to try and stop that would be futile. Because that's the primary thing that's on his mind at the moment. However, killing his uncle wouldn't pay off his anger because he'd still be "mad" afterwards because he has probably already gone insane by then.

Taking a revenge at that moment would probably seem the best for him. Hamlet would not be able to decide what to do with the anger that is gradually getting bigger inside him. However, in reality taking a revenge is not actually a 'solution' towards a problem, since even with the revenge, the situation would not change anyways. Hamlets uncle murdered his dad and taking a revenge towards the uncle would not put the situation back to how it was before the murder.

I think Hamlet would have an even more difficult life after he kills his uncle. Firstly, Hamlet would have killed the king which is very programatic. Secondly, killing his uncle does not change anything. For example, Hamlet's father would not come back just because he kills his uncle. Therefore, I do not think Hamlet could benefit from killing his uncle.

I'm not sure about it and I think the readers do not know as we'll because he dies at the end. The only thing that I could of is that he would have regret what he has done because even he would have thought it was harsh and crazy thing.

Well i think another way would be Hamlet should seek justice and make his uncle pay for the crimes he did. Since Hamlet is a prince and his uncle just became king. that means maybe hamlet could investigate in the king's past and bring him down to justice.

As we are not really sure about his uncle being the killer of his father, therefore we cant actually say that he should take revenge or murdering his uncle would make him feel better or not. But if I were to put myself into Hamlet's position, the only thing going on my mind would obviously be to kill Claudious as he is the man who married my mother, (sort of took her away from me or ruined her reputation in my mind that i had of her as my mother) and on top of that if i would be seeing a ghost of my dead father telling me how Claudious killed him and i wouldnt even have anyone to share my condition with. Than i would do the same as Hamlet was thinking about as his only solution. However, I would like to make sure if Claudious is the actual killer by interrogating or observing him as much as i could.

Instead of taking revenge on Claudius by murdering him, Hamlet should collect proof that Claudius killed king Hamlet and make him pay the consequences. I don't understand why Hamlet would even take his father's command to take revenge on Claudius. I think he's being narrow-sighted and just a kid. He needs to move on with his life.

From where Hamlet mets the ghost and hears about the truth regarding his father's death made me to kind of predict what's going to happen at the end of the story. Hearing from the ghost kind of decided his fate to revenge on his father because Hamlet's only a teenage boy therefore cannot morally judge what would be better for him to do. He seeks only revenge an nothing else.

revenging his father is never a good way. his anger will stay still. he should have hind some other way to ease his anger.

i personally think that taking a revenge will not necessary make hamlet's life any better. Even though he kill Claudius, that doesnt mean that his father, the king hamlet will be back in life. The King Hamlet is death now and he will have to stick with it and deal with it for his entire life.
