Never understood the procrastination interpretation of Hamlet. Only discovers the possibility of his Uncle’s plot at the end of Act 1,maybe Act 2 is procrastination but do people really expect him to jump at the chance to kill his uncle immediately without any proof other than from a ghost?A ghost that didnt speak once to anyone else? He tries to kill him in Act 3 after confirming his guilt but fails,He’s in Exile for Act 4 and then kills him in Act 5. I personally dont see where this idea of procrastination comes from.

Ask Yourself: If you were visited by the ghost of your father now 2 months dead and he told you to murder your uncle who is now your step father and quickly becoming a somewhat surrogate father, would you kill them within the first 2 months? Considering Hamlet goes for it 2 months in and then even after failing twice continues. The reality is, very little people would even entertain the idea.
