Ophelia is in love with Hamlet and she may know or suspect that her father's death was an accident. She may also feel that revenge is a man's job, not a woman's, as Beatrice does in Much Ado About Nothing. However, unlike Beatrice and her brother Laertes, Ophelia never shows the slightest inclination towards feelings of revenge.

Claudius is confessing his sins at the time. Since he has confessed, he will be sent to heaven if Hamlet kills him. This defeats the purpose of Hamlet's plan.
