Why is Hamlet the only one suspicious about his father's death?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Hamlet is disposed to believe ill of Claudius. He dislikes him and resents his marriage to his mother. That is why when the Ghost names Claudius as his murderer, Hamlet says "O my prophetic soul!"--he had already suspected as much.
Because we hear Claudius admit his guilt (just before the "To Be or Not to Be" speech and in Claudius's "O my offence is rank" soliloquy) we know that the ghost is telling the truth. Otherwise, it might be plausible to believe that Claudius is innocent, as everyone including Gertrude seems to believe.

Because he and King Claudius planned it...they put poison on the end of the sword so that when Laertes stabs Hamlet, Hamlet dies. The motive also has to do with the fact that Laertes is avenging his father's (Polonius's) death, whom was killed by Hamlet.

Why isn't the ghost real in the story The Tragedy of Hamlet?
Do you mean, it's all a play so nothing in it is real? Because within the context of the story, the ghost is very real indeed. He is seen by a number of people including Horatio and Barnardo as well as by Hamlet. Hamlet is the only one who hears him speak, but what the ghost tells him is true, not a fiction created by Hamlet's brain. The ghost in Hamlet is as real as the ghost in any other ghost story, like A Christmas Carol, or The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
What does the ghost tell Hamlet when in gertrudes room?
The ghost tells Hamlet the secret of his father's death. Hamlet's father was not killed by a serpent, but was murdered with poison.

The ghost then tells Hamlet to avenge his father's death but to leave his mother alone.
Who was the only character Hamlet trusted?
Horatio is one of Hamlet's most trusted friends (possibly his only REAL one). Considering how little Hamlet trusts all the other characters in the play, it can be deduced that Horatio is the only character that Hamlet trusts.

Only to Yoric, Horatio and Old Hamlet; The rest of the cast gets a lot of flack from Hamlet.[and heccuba~]
