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.
Hamlet did the right thing?
Whether Hamlet did the right thing is a matter of interpretation. Some argue that his quest for revenge against King Claudius was justified, as Claudius murdered Hamlet's father and usurped the throne. However, Hamlet's indecision and the resulting tragedy lead to the deaths of many innocent characters, suggesting that his actions had far-reaching negative consequences. Ultimately, Hamlet's moral struggle highlights the complexity of justice and revenge, leaving the question open to debate.

How does religious faith affect the decisions and actions of Oedipus and Hamlet in 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Hamlet'?
That it does not seem to guide one but does influence the other is the effect of religious faith on the decisions and actions of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and of Hamlet in "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus considers himself capable of outrunning fate and outwitting the gods. Oedipus therefore does not factor in religious parameters. In contrast, Danish Prince Hamlet hesitates precisely because he is guided by thoughts about right and wrong and about the consequences of reckless actions. His spiritual awareness shows up in his strategy to "catch the conscience of the king" about the murder of King Hamlet.

Claudius wants Hamlet dead. He wants his own hands clean, though. His main priority right then is appeasing Laertes, but that aligns nicely.
Why is Hamlet angered by the raucous party thrown by claudius?
Because it's Claudius and in Hamlet's mind nothing Claudius does is done right. Claudius is only following custom, but that isn't good enough: Hamlet sneers that it is a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance.
How was the play Othello similar to Hamlet?
Both concern complex intrigues and murders at court, and end in a bloodbath. The main character of Othello is really Iago, and he bears some resemblance to Hamlet. They both are plagued by a notion that the world is wrong, the wrong people are in power and nobody else seems to notice, and that it's their job to messily set things right.
