Why does it take so long for Hamlet to get his revenge? He
knows that his uncle is the one who killed his father, the
ghost of his father actually shows up and tells him in the
first scene.
EDGAR:
He had about a million opportunities. And he didn't have to
stage a fake play to know that Claudius was guilty.
MARIA:
It's possible that he's just not a violent person. Sure, we're
used to stories about men solving their problems with
violence, but in a way it's more realistic for him to be
bothered by the idea of taking a life, even if it's somebody
he hates.
RIKU:
Actually, I agree. Hamlet is just going through the motions
because his father expects him to take revenge, but that
doesn't mean he wants to
EDGAR:
So, in other words, Hamlet takes a long time to get his
revenge because he doesn't like being in the role of the
retaliator.
