    For this assignment I chose the speech of Claudius the ghost‚ Hamlet’s late father. I think that this speech is more important than any other in the story. Had Hamlet not have met his father’s ghost‚ he would not have known that his father was murdered by his uncle. This speech was given to introduce the conflict into the story. The first version of this speech I decided to use was created for a program known as “This is Hamlet” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gpDgB-GJPY The reason I chose this

Along with his ability to deceive people with his charm‚ he is very good with his language. It seems like he could con any of the other
