Ghost stories

When the Ghost first visits Marcellus and Hamlet, he asks to speak to Hamlet alone. He tells Hamlet the horrifying story of his murder and reveals that it was Claudius who killed him, narrating, “The serpent that did sting thy father’s life/Now wears his crown" (I.v.46-47). The Ghost describes his murderer, Claudius, like a “serpent,” which alludes to the snake from the biblical story of Adam and Eve. In the story of Adam and Eve, the snake is the devil in disguise, similarly to how the Ghost sees Claudius

The book Ghost written by Jason Reynolds is about a boy named Castle Cranshaw.

Ever since this happened, Castle has always ran away from his problems

but sadness in such a story. However, this is not the case. Besides the story being a tragedy, Shakespeare uses humor as a hint to the characters of the tragedy that Hamlet has gone “insane” due to the death of his father. Furthermore, humor serves as comic relief throughout the tragedy. This humor is used to justify Hamlet’s “madness” as it illustrates just what Hamlet has been dealing with in losing his father. Horatio tells Hamlet that he and some guards have seen the ghost of King Hamlet. Curious

In this passage of Richard III by William Shakespeare, Richard starts out of his dream where ghosts of many individuals, most of whom he had murdered, visited him. These ghosts cursed Richard's battle with Richmond and they wished death and despair upon him whilst wishing success for Richmond.

that goes ‘Don’t be afraid of the dark,’ but the question is why should you be afraid? One reason why this saying came about is because people believe that something non-human exists out there. People believe that witches, shapeshifters, hellhounds, ghosts, angels, demons, jinns, and many more supernatural creatures exist. “Only 21 percent of Americans say they don’t believe in the supernatural at all (“Paranormal Poll: Americans…”).” Although many people may not voice or express their belief in the

father's murder. Hamlet and Old Hamlet, his father, had a very close relationship in life. That is why Hamlet believes it is his responsibility as a devoted and dutiful son to avenge his father's murder. Hamlet struggles with whether the ghost is a true ghost or a minister of evil, sent to trick him into killing Claudius, Old Hamlet’s brother, and losing his soul to “eternal damnation”. It is Hamlet's indecision

The combination of physical and verbal aspects of drama causes there to be many

I’m not saying I don’t believe in ghosts I for sure believe in them, but I am saying that the Roosevelt hotel is not haunted. The reason I believe the hotel isn’t haunted is because the two articles that I read have the same stories and similar things.

I was right it was Claudius who killed the late king hamlet. The ghost conformed hamlet’s fear that it was his uncle that killed his father. Hamlet also guessed that and now all he has to do is avenge his father. Is hamlet going to kill Claudius now? This reminds me of the story “Abel and Cain” in the bible.
