Hamlet Sr.'s ghost tells Hamlet to avenge his death so that he may go through Purgatory faster. To avenge his fathers death Hamlet must kill Claudius.
The ghost tells Hamlet three things that he has to do while trying to kill Claudius:
-Don't let the marriage of Claudius and Gertrud continue in an incestuous way.
-Leave your mom alone. Don't harm her physically with daggers.
-Don't go mad in the process of killing Claudius.
*The ghost wants Hamlet to kill Claudius*
The Ghost demands revenge for his "most foul and unnatural murder". Not only had Claudius killed his brother, he also married his brother's wife - which was considered incest at the time. Claudius also claimed the throne of Denmark, which should've been Hamlet's.
He asks them to swear not to tell about the ghost's visit and why Hamlet may appear crazy.
Act 1 Scene 5. The Ghost tells Hamlet: I am thy father's spirit... Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder. The serpent that did sting thy father's life Now wears the crown...(King Claudius) And in the porches of mine ears did pour the leperous distilment... Hamlet remember me. Hamlet is supposed to be merciful to the Ghost of his father's spirit. Which he does so with so determination and dedication to get revenge and to do it so that he (Hamlet) goes to heaven and Claudius goes rightfully to Hell.
Not a dang thing. The ghost only talks to Hamlet; he will not talk to Horatio.

Hamlet mistakenly believes that it is Claudius who is hiding behind the arras instead of Polonius.

MacBeth ends up seeing the ghost of his friend Banquo during his dinner party he throws in (and double check this) Act 4 i believe. Also, before MacBeth kills Duncan in Act 2 he sees a floating dagger as a hallucination. The ghost though, is Banquo.

Some unanswered questions in Hamlet are: Does Hamlet truly go "mad" or is it all an act? Does it matter? Why doesn't anybody dislike Claudius even though he's a murderer? Did Gertrude play a part in Hamlet's father's death? Does the ghost of Hamlet's father tell him not to blame Gertrude, Hamlet's mother? Does Hamlet love Ophelia? Is Hamlet in love with his mother? If he is in love with his mother is he also still in love with Ophelia?
Various things. "Are you honest?" "Are you fair?" "May I lie in your lap?" "Where is your father?" "Do you think I meant country matters?"
Why is Hamlet still mourning his father's death after a wedding
Anything, you can ask it's name, age, gender, history, etc. but dont thrust them too much and never ask dumb things like 'when am i going to die?' or 'how is it in hell' 0_0
Never ask a ghost "if he is real" he will chuck a skitz at you. Coming from personal experience.
He is Danish. He knew Hamlet Sr. by sight (he says the ghost looked like him), he made a point of coming to his funeral, and most telling, he refers to him as "our king". Barnardo and Marcellus know him well enough to ask him to see the ghost. When Hamlet goes to England, Horatio stays and is on intimate terms with the Queen. When letters come by sea to him, he says "I do not know from what part of the world I should be greeted, if not from Lord Hamlet." This is unlikely as it is, since we know he has fellow-scholars at Wittenberg, but would be impossible if he had grown up in some other country. There is a counter-indication when he asks Hamlet, "It is a custom?" Surely if he had been hanging around the Danish royal court that much, he would know.

to spy on Hamlet and send Hamlet to England, also ordered them to give the notes to the king of England and ask the king of England to kill Hamlet immediately
