Claudius begins to feel that Hamlet is a threat and summons Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to take Hamlet to England immediately. He says that because Hamlet is a threat to the King he is a threat to the people of Denmark. The two friends of Hamlet agree and leave. Claudius begins to pray at his private altar asking for forgiveness from his sins. He says that he has commited the biggest primal sin of ‘killing his brother’ and it is sin too big to be forgiven. Hamlet sees Claudius praying and see’s it as a perfect moment to kill him. However, he realises that Claudius killed his father in his sleep leaving him in purgatory awaiting entry into heaven. If he were to kill Claudius now he would go straight to heaven avoiding his eternal punishment. Polonius then enters informing Claudius that the prince is on his way to see Gertrude and Polonius will be eavesdropping on their conversation.
