"How came he dead? I"ll not be juggled with. To Hell, Allegiance; Vows to the blackest Devil; Conscience and Grace, to the profoundest Pit. I dare Damnation. To this point I stand, That both the Worlds I give to Negligence, Let come what comes, onely I"ll be reveng"d Most throughly for my Father." (IV, V, 130). Hamlet, in contrast, is very private with his grief. His grief for his father, King Hamlet, is very long and drawn out, two months after his father's death, he is still wearing ".suits of solemn black." (I, II, 78). Claudius and Gertrude comment on his unhappiness, however, until Hamlet's first soliloquy the audience is not clear on the depth of his suffering. Hamlet seems to be troubled by his mother's almost immediate marriage to his uncle, but he suspects nothing of his father's murder until the ghost discloses it to him.
When facing the action of avenging their father's deaths, Laertes is quick to act, he wants his revenge and he wants it immediately. His actions are rash, based in anger, and Laertes becomes easily drawn Denmark's most foul corruption by Claudius. Claudius manipulates Laertes, preying on his anger, into becoming an ally to kill Hamlet. Laertes is confident of his ability to regain honor through vengeance: ".my revenge will come." (I, II, 78) In contrast to Laertes" fast response, Hamlet procrastinates. In many studies of Hamlet's character his indecision is a frequent topic. Although Hamlet wants to regain honor by avenging his father's death, but he is uncertain of his ability to carry out what he promised to the ghost. For two months he procrastinates, and he debases himself for doing so. Hamlet agonizes over what he has to do, and how he has to avenge the murder of his father. While Laretes acts on impulse, and on a false alliance with Claudius arising from the emotions of anger and revenge. Conversely, Hamlet mulls over how he is going to act and defers action until he is disgusted by his own procrastination which propels him into acting.
