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.

What is the climatic scene in Hamlet?
I think the psychological climax is in the last scene of the play. Throughout the play, Hamlet has struggled with himself about his reaction to the Ghost's revelations and command to take revenge on King Claudius; he has called himself a coward, passed up a chance to kill the King, and blamed himself for not being decisive. But in the last scene, after having a premonition that the fencing match with Laertes might mean his death, Hamlet seems suddenly to achieve a kind of serenity. He says to Horatio: we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes? Let be. (5.2.219-224)
Was Hamlet ever mad or just acting?
Shakespeare leaves the madness of Hamlet to the mind of the audience; you can read it either way. If he is mad (as in "insane"), it is a madness with a purpose. At any rate, it would be a curious sort of madness that depended on the winds.
What does the ghost reveal that Claudius murdered Hamlet's father?
Act 1, scene 5 Ghost: "I find the apt; And duller shoulst thou be than the fat weed That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf, Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear: 'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard, A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark Is by a forged process of my death Rankly abused; but know, thou noble youth, The serpent that did sting thy father's life Now wears his crown." Hamlet: "O my prophetic soul! My uncle?" This is meaning that Claudius is the "serpent" who murdered King Hamlet. Ironic isn't it, Claudius is King Hamlet's brother.

Is the climax of Hamlet is generally considered to occur when Hamlet does not take the opportunity to kill the praying Claudius?
No I was not. According to the text, killing someone while they are free of sin(like while praying) will allow them to skip purgatory and go straight to heaven. Hamlet Senior (the ghost) did not have this chance to pray before being killed. Because of this, he is stuck in purgatory. Hamlet wants Claudius to have the same result has Hamlet Senior had. The ironic thing about this scene is that after Hamlet leaves, Claudius says that he unable to truly confess his sins; therefore, if Hamlet would have killed him, Claudius still would have gone to purgatory.

What would you change about act 1 in Hamlet?
Add kangaroos. Yeah, we'll set it in Australia and when the guy says "Who's there?" it's not really the guard he sees but a kangaroo. Or here's a plan. The ghost is really Claudius dressed up, who is trying to goad Hamlet into trying to assassinate him, thus giving him a pretext for having Hamlet put to death legally. Instead of the ghost leaving the stage on the word "Adieu", it is Hamlet who leaves, so Claudius can take off the sheet with two holes for eyes and laugh like Snidely Whiplash. Or not. If you would prefer something less rididulous, use your own imagination. I'm sure you could come up with something better.

What are some examples of dramatic irony in the play hamlet?
Much of the dramatic irony in Shakespeare's 'The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, centers around his pretending to be mad so that he can plan revenge on his Uncle Claudius. As a result initially only the audience knows he is simply feigning madness. In the scene between Polonius and Laertes, Polonious speaks about trust and loyalty, but orders his son followed once he leaves.
