It should come as no surprise that the word "genetic" is not used in Hamlet.

The concept of genetics doesn't occur either as the concept wasn't figured out until several hundred years after the play was written.

There are two family relationships between characters in the play

Hamlet & Gertrude were the parents of Hamlet the prince

Polonius is the father of Laertes and Ophelia

None of the characters displays any trait which might be genetically linked to their known parents.

Please rephrase this question. As it stands it sounds like Claudius took a cab downtown to Ernie's Pawnshop to get a loan on a map owned by Hamlet. What other kind of plan did Hamlet have? Hamlet is famous for not making plans, of not thinking out any practical scheme to accomplish his revenge.

What does the ghost in Hamlet symbolize?

if you are asking this for, say, a homework assignment, then I recommend you figure it out on your own, as your teacher could find this easily.The ghost in Shakespeare's Hamlet is Hamlet's father, who is dead. In Hamlet, Hamlet's father is killed by Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet's father's ghost (the ghost) comes back to basically tell Hamlet what happened, and to tell him (more or less) to have revenge on Hamlet's uncle.
