  12. The ghost, or the harbinger is an omen for bad shit to be going down. So a harbinger of death, or misfortune is a more accurate title. Although the ghost does not blatantly say bad things are upon everybody; the reader can make the assumption on his own.

    The ghost ask of hamlet to avenge his father's death (which was murdered at the hands of his uncle). The sighting of the ghost cause's hamlet to question his own sanity; but the ghost tells him to be chill and tells him he's sane.

    So by acknowledging the ghost, hamlet pretty much causes a butterfly effect, which gets himself and everybody else killed.

    Finally. The only reason for the ghost to appear in the book, was for hamlet to have his own personal conflict and motive for this incredibly boring story.

  14. JRBreason,

    Good insights.
    Let's keep the language academic, please.

    The eternal questions of humanity are boring?
    Don't we have something to learn from those who came before us?
    After all, there is nothing new under the sun.

  15. 1. The ghost is a harbinger of bad things to come because ghosts and supernatural events are often associated with evil and tragedy in literature and mythology.

    2. The sighting of the king's ghost is a harbinger of the imbalance in the order of things caused by the king's death at his brother's hands. The appearance of the ghost makes it clear that "there is something rotten in Denmark."

  26. 1) The ghost foreshadows unlucky events to take place during the play. Hamlet's ghost wants his son to avenge him. If a ghost wanted me to take hold of that responsibility, I'd definitely get into some kind of collision if I go through with it. Hardly anything good comes from getting revenge; just bad karma and whatnot.

    2) The sighting of the ghost is a harbinger of the prince's own fate.
