No, the ghost instructs Hamlet to seek revenge on his uncle, King Claudius, for murdering him and usurping the throne. The ghost does not mention punishing Gertrude, Hamlet's mother.

What is the purpose of the ghosts appearance to hamlet and not to gertrude?

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.


In hamlet Whom does the ghost exempt from his call for revenge and why?

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.
