As I quoted the ghost states that revenge is foul‚ meaning

    Hamlets True Intensions In the play Hamlet it is obvious that there is a story about a boy who lost his father‚ but the main climax comes from how he takes his revenge.

    In the story Hamlet‚ by William Shakespeare‚ the sane Hamlet occasionally switches between the realms of sanity and insanity.
