Why does Claudius murder Hamlet's father?

It was an accident. He didn't know it was Polonius. He thought it was the King. O.k. in one scene of "Hamlet", when Hamlet approached his Mother, the Queen and argued with her, saying that she's evil and has no love for her previous husband (Hamlet's father, the King) and doesn't like being his Mother. Enraged, she walked away, but Hamlet grabbed her by the wrist and said "Listen to me!". She was so frightened, she called for help. Then Polonius, who was hiding behing a curtain, called "Help!". Then Hamlet, mistaking it for the King's voice, took out his sword and stabbed the curtain, killing Polonius. Claudius...Apexxx


Why didnt the Claudius confront Hamlet directley after the death of polonius?

There is no background on Claudius' rule. He could have very well have been a better king than Hamlet's father. Hamlet was so consumed with hatred, that he did not even kill the king for the people, he killed him for himself. Plus, he left the nation powerless to the invading nation. He was selfish and filled with hatred. If he had a problem with Claudius and his Mother, he should have talked it out with them. Claudius brought in Hamlet's friends to find out what was wrong with him, and all Hamlet did was have them killed. Hamlet was not a tragic hero, he was a villain.
