Hamlet’s dilemma begins when the watchmen , Marcellus, Bernardo, and his good friend Horatio inform him that they have seen the ghost of his dead father. So Hamlet is startled and wants to see this for himself. So one night Hamlet goes with the watchmen and sure enough the ghost of Hamlet’s father again appears to them. The ghost explains to him exactly how he died. He reveals to his son that his own brother, Claudius, is responsible for his death, and now Hamlet must kill his uncle to avenge his father’s death.
