Why is Hamlet so eager to kill, when he does not even know the person behind the tapestry?
Hamlet is so overcome by his hatred for Claudius that he is starting to make rash and irrational decisions. Hamlet hopes that the squealer is the king so he can finally extract his revenge upon him. He passed up killing him before, since he was praying. Now he can kill Claudius inside the room, hiding like a coward. Also, why would any other person be in his mom's room at that time? Logically, although he is low on logic, he would think that it is the ear-poisoning coward hiding behind the tapestry.
