Detailed explanation-1: -The Ghost first appears to a duo of soldiers-Bernardo and Marcellus-and Hamlet’s friend, Horatio. The men draw their swords and stand in fear, requesting that Horatio, as a scholar, address the Ghost. Horatio asks the Ghost to speak, and reveal its secret.
Detailed explanation-2: -Instead of feeling any remorse, Hamlet turns on his mother, attacking her for marrying Claudius so soon after her husband’s death. In the middle of his tirade, the ghost makes an appearance to remind Hamlet of his real goal: vengeance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lesson Summary. Act 1, Scene 5 of Hamlet is the play’s renowned ghost scene. In this scene, Prince Hamlet encounters a ghost that claims to be his deceased father, King Hamlet. The ghost tells Hamlet that his brother, the new King Claudius, murdered him and married his wife, Gertrude.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet is quick to believe the Ghost because the spirit’s words confirm his worst fear: Claudius murdered King Hamlet. For the Elizabethan/Jacobean audience who attended the first performances of Hamlet, murder of a king was in itself cause for alarm.
