The play proves Hamlet's right to take Revenge

In Act three Claudius sends Guildenstern and Rosenkrantz to spy on Hamlet. Hamlet finally seems ready to put his desire for revenge into action. He is satisfied that the play has proven his uncle’s guilt. But Hamlet waits.

This picture shows Hamlet looking in a mirror with a knife in his hand.

 "I am very
proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offenses at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in,
imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in." Act.3 Sc.1 p.131 l.134-138
 Hamlet talks to  Ophelia

about his revenge.

He is ambitious ,revengeful and ready to take more offenses but its all imagination he is scared and not ready to take revenge. He plays with the thought of taking revenge but he is definitely not ready to revenge his father.

"Oh, this is hire and salary, not revenge.
He took my father grossly, full of bread,
With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May." Act.3 Sc.3 p.167 l.92-92
Hamlet thinks that he would do Claudius a favor when he kills him. Because Claudius killed his dad in his prime. And he killed the king before the king could repent his sins.

Hamlet is not able to kill his uncle.

And all the side stories show people who can take revenge like Fortinbras and Pyrrhus but Hamlet is just not able to take revenge.
Both qotes show that Hamlet can't take revenge and the fact drives him insane.
