Hamlets weakness is later illustrated when he passes up the opportunity to kill Claudius by rationalizing that he has made peace with God, therefore sending him to Heaven if he were to be slain. ... Nevertheless, Hamlets resolve makes a dramatic turn by the time he recites his soliloquy of Act IV, Scene iv.

Hamlets character during the beginning of the play is one of virtue and integrity, fearing the consequences of his action.
