Hamlet has chosen to assassinate is uncle, Claudius the "unrighteous" king of Denmark. His uncle had killed his brother, the former king and father to Hamlet. So, it only seems obvious for Claudius to parish? But, when Hamlet sees an opportunity he hesitates because he realizes that in order to satisfy the "sweet revenge" that he wants he's going to have to get his uncle when he's most vulnerable. When there is no chance of salvation from the crime that he has commited.
Hamlet seems to have the right idea. But, the religious rammification of him going through with it is that he would have become the very evil that he wanted to destroy. He has already killed Polonius and due to that it has caused him to dive into a deeper state of insanity.
Claudius deserves to be punished, but not in the way Hamlet is persuing where innocent people are getting hurt. I say Hamlet should just get his uncle to confess to the people of Denmark and claim his rightful throne...if he can manage to not go mad from all that he has been through.
