Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Intensely moved, Hamlet swears to remember and obey the ghost. Horatio and Marcellus arrive upon the scene and frantically ask Hamlet what has happened. Shaken and extremely agitated, he refuses to tell them, and he insists that they swear upon his sword not to reveal what they have seen.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -When Hamlet learns from the ghost of his father’s murder, he weeps, and promises action, though he delivers none.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alas, poor ghost! To what I shall unfold. Speak; I am bound to hear. So art thou to revenge, when thou shalt hear.
