The ghost in Hamlet is considered as a major character. The Ghost is important because his demand for revenge. This mean that without the ghost pushing Hamlet to take revenge, Hamlet wouldn't do anything hurtful.
Throughout the tragedy, the Ghost is viewed as an illusion and a spirit which returned from the grave because of the undone mission. It is a spirit from sent with heavenly permission.
Hamlet was upset by the death of his father, as well as his mother’s hasty and marriage. He later found out that his uncle actually killed his father, and that his father’s ghost wants him to take revenge of his death. Hamlet decided to get his revenge on Claudius, and then inexplicably puts it off for the rest of the play.
The most important scenes in the play is the scene in which Hamlet met the ghost of his father, who told him of his gristly murder. The ghost is only returning to ensure his son knows the truth about his death leaving him free to rest in peace.
Finally , I believe that the ghost in Hamlet was trying to get revenge on his brother through his son. By his line wishing Hamlet not to taint his mind, it appears he really cares for his son, and from this show of emotions it proves he is not the devil but the father in a spiritual picture . Shakespeare acted the ghost on stage in the performances of Hamlet at the Globe. Adding the ghost in a tragic play made the play original and unique to the audience .
