On the other hand, some people might say that Hamlet takes long to avenge his father’s death because as George Detmold states, “ Perhaps the most significant reason why Hamlet hesitates , the critic concludes, is that although he is tempted by love, kingship, and even revenge, he is long past the point where he desires to do anything about them. None of these objects gives him a new incentive for living” (219). Detmold questions how come it took Hamlet approximately three months to take action, and then succeed in the very last minute whether it was unintentional or after he processed the thoughts through (219)? Well, the answer to this is just because he wasn’t curious in doing so and his mindset was someplace else, thinking about the consequences
