Hamlet's anger is constantly increasing towards Claudius. Therefore, he has not had the time to calm down, come to his senses and really contemplate his plot of revenge. Hamlet is so blinded by his anger that he delays to avenge the death of his father, as he waits for the perfect moment to kill Claudius. Hamlet while speaking to himself says: .
-A took my father grossly, full of bread, / With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May; / And how his audit stands who knows save heaven? To take him in the purging of his soul, / When he is fit and season"d for his passage? / No / Up, sword, and know thou a more horrid hent or in his rage, / Or in th"incestuous pleasure of his bed Then trip him, that his heels may kick at heaven/ And that his soul may be as damn"d and black / As hell (Act 3, v, 80-95).
Hamlet not only wants to avenge his father's death by killing Claudius but he wants to wait until Claudius is committing a sin and then send him to hell. Hamlet had plenty of opportunities to kill Claudius. However, he was so blinded by the anger and rage of his father's death among many other things that he waited to long, which led to the downfall and death of himself. Hamlet finally kills Claudius, while he is also dying. "The point of envenom"d too! Then, venom, to thy work / Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane, / Drink off this potion. Is thy union here? / Follow my mother" (Act 5, ii, 327-32). .
This left Hamlet's father's death avenged as Claudius was dead, but at the cost of Hamlet's own life. Hamlet acted blindly through his anger, which caused the downfall and death of himself. Although he was successful in following through with his revenge plot and killing Claudius, his anger blinded him so that he procrastinated, which allowed others the time plot their revenge against him.
Laertes seeks revenge upon Hamlet but acts blindly through anger and emotion than reason.
