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.
