The Ghost as Catalyst in Hamlet

No source links recorded for this answer.

The Ghost of King Hamlet is more than just a supernatural figure—it is the spark that ignites the entire tragic sequence of events. By revealing the circumstances of his wrongful death, the Ghost compels Prince Hamlet to pursue vengeance, thereby setting the narrative and moral conflicts of the play in motion. This spectral appearance also raises profound questions about mortality, the afterlife, and the reliability of appearances, underscoring the play's exploration of truth and moral corruption.
