However, I also feel like Laertes doe...Good point. However, I also feel like Laertes doesn't care about damning himself through murdering Hamlet (thus he would even kill him in a church), but Hamlet does not want to damn himself through the murder of Claudius. He says, "Thus, the spirit that I have seen May be a devil... As he is very potent with such spirits, Abuses me to damn me" (Act II, scene ii). His indecision is partially because he is not sure that the ghost was good, and therefore does not want to damn himself if the devil is tricking him.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623948321538610253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213987490124924289.post-87589625958929157782011-09-30T10:05:10.524-06:002011-09-30T10:05:10.524-06:00yes, Hamlet is more concerned for spiritual matter...yes, Hamlet is more concerned for spiritual matters, but because of that, he's almost worse, don't you think? He won't kill him then, because he wants the MOST Pain and suffering to come upon his victim. so he's aware of heaven, and he DOES NOT want his father's murderer to get there... Hamlet thinks about everything in great extent. Leartes is just angry.acorkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658711828381942884noreply@blogger.com
