Comment:        RE: SHK 13.1577 The Currency of Prayer

Re. Bob Rosen's comment about Claudius at prayer. Hamlet does not want
to kill Claudius at prayer because he fears his uncle's soul may thereby
avoid the fires of Hell. The episode does not suggest Hamlet's
conversion to a more generous frame of mind -- it describes a hardening
of his heart, a plan to evade the redemptive powers of prayer, and a
determination to insure that Claudius experiences eternal torment.
