Dude, where's my soul?

   After Claudius confesses in a soliloquy to killing the king, "this cursed hand were thicker than itself with brother’s blood", Hamlet finds an opportunity to seek revenge on his uncle (III.iii). Instead, Hamlet finds Claudius praying. Hamlet then hesitates, reasoning that if he were to kill Claudius in a praying state, Claudius' soul will surely go to heaven, not achieving the revenge Hamlet desires: "He is praying, and so he goes to heaven" (III.iii).  The certainty Hamlet has over the destination of Claudius' soul is a direct contrast to his previous "to be or not to be" speech in which he contemplates the uncertainty of existence after death. The discontinuity of Hamlet's opinions is further reason to question his sanity, motives and moral standing especially from having a religiously focused education.
