O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven; it hath the primal eldest curse upon’t, a brother’s murder. pray can i not, though inclination be as sharp as will. my stronger guilt defeats my strong intent, and, like a man to double business bound, i stand in pause where i shall first begin and both neglect. what if this curséd hand were thicker than itself with brother’s blood?

A soliloquy of Claudius in Act III scene iii.

Explanation:

This soliloquy of Claudius is from Act III scene iii of William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Hamlet". This soliloquy of his is one of the turning points for both Claudius and Hamlet.

Claudius' soliloquy in this scene shows his dilemma in what he had done, his acceptance of his murderous act but his reluctance to be fully condemned. But it also shows his extra effort to ask God for forgiveness, his physical being may be reluctant to knell and pray but his mind knows the deed he had committed and hid is wrong.

At the same time, this scene also brings Hamlet almost exacting his revenge on Claudius. But he did not do it for fear that his (Claudius') soul may be sent to heaven if he gets killed while praying. To Hamlet, it seem like Claudius is praying to God and it is his very position that stops him from killing him. For he believes that as much as Claudius deserved to die, he did not want to kill him while he's praying, while 'communicating' with God, which will send his soul to heaven. SO, he'd rather kill him another time.
