∙ 7y agoIn Shakespeare's 'The Tragedy of Prince Hamlet of Denmark,' Hamlet's failure to move forward to seek revenge against his uncle, Claudius for the death of his father, prompted Claudius to take the hesitancy as his chance to kill his nephew. After Hamlet impulsively kills Polonius, Claudius is able to use Laertes' to kill Hamlet.

∙ 7y agoSome of the most significant events leading to Hamlet's death are his meeting with his father's ghost which gives him the idea of revenge, and his killing of Polonius (a botched attempt at that revenge) which gives Laertes a motive for revenge and Claudius reason to consider Hamlet too dangerous to live. It is impossible to say whether Hamlet would have survived had he attempted to murder the king and his own uncle without delay or subtlety. Had he done so, he would have strongly resembled Macbeth, and things didn't turn out so well for him in the end. It is certain that he would have survived had he not attempted to kill anyone.
