Why did Claudius want to kill Hamlet?

Hamlet was causing problems for Claudius. His antics had disturbed the court and the kingdom. His killing of Polonius had deprived Claudius of his counsellor and had put him in an awkward position, since a murderer ought to be tried and put to death yet that would be politically unwise. Finally, Hamlet was on to him. Claudius had a pretty good idea that Hamlet knew that he had killed Hamlet Sr. and how it was committed. All this meant that Claudius was worrying about Hamlet instead of running the kingdom, which he had been doing quite well before all this. Claudius says, "like the hectic in my blood he rages."--it is becoming an obsession.


What is the most critical moment in the play Hamlet?

Some would suggest that it is at the point where he finds Claudius praying and has a chance to kill him. Hamlet does not take the danger Claudius poses to him as seriously as he should. This would have been an excellent opportunity to deal with Claudius and stave off his malice, but Hamlet wants a perfect opportunity and thus allows that malice to set events in motion. Others might look at the killing of Polonius as a critical moment. Before he does this he is just a harmless eccentric but now he is a dangerous criminal. Polonius's death speeds up Claudius's plans to get rid of Hamlet, drives Ophelia crazy and brings Laertes on a revenging rampage.


Why does the queen agree to go see Ophelia?

Hamlet looks to make Claudius feel guilty in order to confirm his suspicions that Claudius killed his father. "The play's the thing, In which I'll catch the conscience of the king." Additionally the play looks to show Gertrude her lack of loyalty to her dead husband (Hamlet's father).

How is polonius advising Claudius regarding foreign affairs and Hamlet?

As Claudius's advisor, it was Polonius's job to advise him on all matters of state. We presume that Polonius advised Claudius to deal with Fortinbras diplomatically through his uncle the king of Norway. This appears to have been successful. He also advised Claudius that in his opinion Hamlet was suffering from unrequited love for Ophelia and the best way to find out what was going on with Hamlet was to throw everyone Hamlet appears to have cared about at him, including Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern and Gertrude, and spy on the conversation. This was not such good advice.
