And then‚ in Act Three Scene Four‚ as Hamlet speaks to the Ghost‚ his mother‚ whom sees nothing‚ is made believe that her son is mad. Hamlet on the other hand feels differently. He asks his father’s ghost‚ “Do you not come your tardy son to chide‚ / that‚ lapsed in time and passion‚ lets go by‚ / The important acting of your dread command?” Clearly Hamlet too feels the anguish of

Hamlet is full of resolve to do the right thing‚ but he makes no attempt to kill Claudius until Act III‚ Scene IV. (That attempt is frustrated when he mistakenly believes Claudius is praying.) Why

When Hamlet is approached by the king’s ghost‚ he doubts whether the ghost is his father or a devil‚ he says‚ “the spirit I have seen/may be a devil and the devil hath power” (2.2.627-629). He overthinks the existent of the ghost as he is uncertain that the ghost is actually his dead father or a devil playing with his mind. This influences his delay to kill the new king‚ Claudius.

believes his father was murdered. Hamlet learned the events that unfolded during his father’s murder in the garden from a ghost that claimed to be the spirit of King Hamlet. In both soliloquies‚ his desire and drive to kill Claudius is “prompted to [his] revenge by heaven and hell” (2.2.547). His thoughts of revenge derive from seeing his father’s thought to be spirit in purgatory. The ghost that visited Hamlet may be the “devil” that “assume[d] a pleasing shape” (2.2.561-562) by making himself appear as
