Best Answer

Initially Hamlet is uncertain about the honesty of the ghost. Then he loses an opportunity when he decides not to kill Claudius in the confessional because his soul will go to heaven. Then he becomes involved in plot that finds him bound or transported away from Claudius for a good portion of the play. He is also filled with self-doubt about his ability to kill him, and the nature of his existence, which causes delay.
