Answer:

He had started to doubt himself, unsure of how and why the ghost had appeared and for what purpose.

Explanation:

Act I of William Shakespeare's tragic play "Hamlet" shows the young prince Hamlet meeting his dead father's ghost for the first time. And then came the revelation by the former King's ghost of how he had been murdered. This revelation took Hamlet by surprise but also made him vow to exact revenge on the culprit.

When Hamlet said <em>"it is an honest ghost",</em> he was fully sure of what he had been told by the ghost. But later on, he again said <em>"The spirit that I have seen may be the devil"</em>, implying that he's starting to question the whole situation. Earlier, he had been so much consumed with grief about his father's death that when the ghost came, he was fully co-operative with the plan and the story. But later on, when he isn't with the ghost and had time to think more clearly, he began to doubt his own decision.

Which of the following is the best definition for stream of consciousness?
vekshin1
Stream-of-consciousness is a very stylistic form of free indirect discourse. It is not spontaneous, or unintentional, or anything of the sort. In fact, if anything, it's just the opposite. It's highly stylized, but also purposeful and calculating. It sees the world wholly through the character's mind instead of through their senses, save for how the mind and the senses interact. 

It relates to a lot of things - free association, synesthesia, free indirect discourse, without actually being any of them. 

<span>There's only a handful of writers that can actually do stream-of-consciousness writing with any success - Joyce and Faulkner come to mind immediately. In short, there's nothing wrong with trying it, but there's also nothing wrong with not having done that, but having done, say, free association instead.</span>
