King Hamlet's ghost informs his son that his brother, Prince Hamlet's uncle Claudius (now king) murdered King Hamlet in his sleep, and stole the throne and his wife, Queen Gertrude, from him. his is the main reason why Prince Hamlet wants revenge on Claudus- for the throne, which was supposed to go to him, and mostly to avenge his father's dath.
