Gertrude. I suppose he may have told Hamlet not to take revenge on Gertrude because the ghost still has affection for her, or because it would be particularly evil for a son to kill his mother, or because the ghost knows that Gertrude was not privy to Claudius's murder, and the murder is what he wants revenge for. Or some combination of these.
Act 1 Scene 5. The Ghost tells Hamlet: I am thy father's spirit... Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder. The serpent that did sting thy father's life Now wears the crown...(King Claudius) And in the porches of mine ears did pour the leperous distilment... Hamlet remember me. Hamlet is supposed to be merciful to the Ghost of his father's spirit. Which he does so with so determination and dedication to get revenge and to do it so that he (Hamlet) goes to heaven and Claudius goes rightfully to Hell.

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.
