My favorite part of the play. The irony is unbelievable.
Everybody in the play is Catholic along with Shakespeare. If he kills Claudius now, Claudius will be in a state of grace which means that all of his sins (including the murder of Hamlet's father) will be forgiven and Claudius will be given a free ticket to heaven. That's the last thing Hamlet wants.

We learn that after Hamlet has made this decision, and leaves, Claudius tells that he cannot pray meaningfully. His words do not reach even the ceiling (if I remember correctly). 

Isn't that a bit of irony? Think of it. By the terms of the play, Hamlet thinks Claudius will go to heaven. But what Claudius tells us is that nothing could be further from the truth.

vovikov84 [41]

Mahatma Gandhi, one of the best minds in spirituality, writes about the truth of things in his autobiography <em>"The Story of My Experiments with Truth".</em> He supports his argument stating that God is the greatest good that humans must be seeking through our everyday thoughts and actions.

He invites human beings to act with truth and responsibility in our daily living, specifically in activities like politics and law, where you must act honestly and ethically.

<em>The Story of My Experiments with Truth</em> is a book that covers the life of Gandhi until 1921. Originally written in Gujarati, the book is divided into five parts: 1) Gandhi's childhood, 2)relationships with his wife and family, 3)his experience in South Africa, 4)World War I, 5)Freedom Fighting activities.
