Detailed explanation-1: -A major reason for Hamlet’s dilemma is that he is uncertain of the Ghost’s authenticity.
Detailed explanation-2: -He accuses Gertrude of lustfulness, and she begs him to leave her alone. King Hamlet’s Ghost reappears to Hamlet, but only Hamlet can see him. Hamlet believes that the Ghost has come to chide his tardy son into carrying out the “dread command, ” but Hamlet then perceives the Ghost as his mother’s protector.
Detailed explanation-3: -What two reasons does Hamlet provide for being unafraid to follow the ghost of his father? His soul can’t be hurt and he thinks his life is not worth anything.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ghost tells Hamlet that he is, in fact, the ghost of his dead father. And there’s more: the ghost claims that Claudius killed him, taking his throne and his wife in the process. He wants Hamlet to kill Claudius in revenge. Shocked, Hamlet agrees and vows to avenge his father’s death.
