The ghost's appearance to Hamlet, rather than to Gertrude, serves to emphasize Hamlet's unique burden as the avenger of his father's murder. The ghost reveals important truths about King Hamlet's death that only Hamlet can act upon. By not appearing to Gertrude, the ghost underscores her complicity and the complexity of her relationship with Claudius, while also allowing Hamlet to grapple with his own feelings of betrayal and moral obligation. This selective communication heightens the tension between duty and familial loyalty central to the play.
