Hamlet’s delay comes from his Oedipus complex. He harbors an Oedipal love for his mother and a hatred for his own father.
It is mainly Shakespeare who takes the liberty against the strict drama principle of Aristotle’s principles of three unities—time, place and action, makes dramas more rich in tensions and more expressive. He breaks the division between tragedy and comedy and creates realistic plays that have both tragic and comic.

Duncan:

The merciless Macdonwald-Worthy to be a rebel, for to that The multiplying villanies of nature Do swarm upon him--from the western isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Show'd like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth--well he deserves that name-Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements. ---------------------------------------------From Fife, great king; Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky And fan our people cold. Norway himself, With terrible numbers, Assisted by that most disloyal traitor

Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air.(act 1, scene 1) O, Valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman! (act 1, scene 1) there’s no art/To find the mind’s construction in the face:/He was a gentleman on whom I built.(Act1, Scene4)

Shall I/ compare/ thee to/ a sum/mer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee
