Detailed explanation-1: -He keeps telling Ophelia to “get thee to a nunnery” because he believes women are morally weak and are easy targets for men. When Hamlet explains why the Kning and Queen want his friends to watch him, he does not say this is a reason: Hamlet talks about seeing a ghost.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -When Hamlet and his friends first see the ghost, what do Hamlet’s friends tell him to do? Do not go with the ghost.
