Why did Hamlet delay killing Claudius in act 3 scene3?

Well, the actual Scene 3 of the play is where Laertes leaves for France.But the question must refer to Act 3 scene 3, the "Prayer Scene." Hamlet gets Claudius alone, but Claudius is praying (without knowing Hamlet is there.) Hamlet decides not to kill Claudius, while Claudius is praying, because he's afraid it would only send Claudius straight to Heaven, and Hamlet doesn't think that would be revenge, instead it would be more like rewarding Claudius.

Which is one type of play that Shakespeare wrote?

Traditionally, Shakespeare's plays have been sorted into three boxes: Tragedies, Histories and Comedies. Sometimes scholars have invented new boxes to sort them into: Tragicomedies, Romances and Problem Plays. You could also apply other labels to them: Hamlet and Titus Andronicus are "revenge tragedies" and Much Ado About Nothing is probably the first "romantic comedy" ever written. All of these labels refer to "types of plays".
