How are the four characteristics of the Greek Tragedy used in the play Hamlet?
First of all, there are many more than four characteristics of traditional Greek tragedies: there are about ten. Hamlet can account for all as it is, after all, the nature of the play. For example, a ghost (of the late King of Denmark) is the one who reveals the need for revenge. Prince Hamlet himself is the person who takes it upon himself to do the act of attaining such revenge by murdering his uncle, his father's murderer. However, he hesitates to do so, another main part of the type of work, but does later, just before his own death, and everyone elses'.
Why is Hamlet the only one suspicious about his father's death?
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.
