In his monologue, the Ghost of Hamlet's father says the following about Claudius, Hamlet's mother, and his own death:
- The Ghost calls Claudius an incestuous and treacherous animal. He is filled with resentment and wants Hamlet to kill Claudius to avenge his death.
- As for Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, the Ghost says he loved her, but also that she is lustful. He sees her as having fallen from grace.
- Finally, he says his own death was unnatural, and that he was killed without the chance of repenting for his sins.
<h3>Who is the Ghost in Hamlet?</h3>
- The Ghost that appears a few times in the story is Hamlet's father, King Hamlet, who was poisoned to death by his own brother, Claudius. He is now asking his son to avenge him.
- King Hamlet is stuck in purgatory since he was not able to repent for his sins. He is also quite resentful toward not only Claudius but also his wife, Gertrude, who married Claudius after his death.
- It is the Ghost that sets the story in motion. His revelation to Hamlet gets this character to change the way he acts and affect everyone around him.

Explanation:
Like most truly suspenseful and horrifying moment, whether in theatre, film, or television, what an audience imagines is far more gruesome than anything that they can actually watch. This makes the blinding far more effective offstage.
In addition, as all classical Greek plays were performed with masks, this made it possible for the actor to come back with a different mask to show the change and thus create a visual cue for the audience.
This scene occurs near the end of the play, at the end of Act 5, Scene 1.
At this point in the play, Romeo has already been banished from Verona and has been staying in Mantua. He wakes in the morning and believes the dream he has just had is a good omen. He says "If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand."
When we learn the content of Romeo's dream, we cannot agree with him. He dreamed of Juliet, which is certainly nice. However, in his dream Romeo himself was dead! He says, "I dreamt my lady came and found me dead."
Romeo interprets this dream as a positive one because in the dream Juliet "breathed such life with kisses in my lips That I revived." Here, he is saying that in his dream, Juliet found him dead but kissed him and brought him back to life. Although Romeo believes this dream is happy, it is actually foreshadowing what will happen in Act 5, Scene 3.
At this point, his cousin Balthasar arrives to tell him Juliet has died. What Romeo does not realize is that his dream WILL come true -- in a way. He will go to Juliet's tomb and kill himself. Juliet will waken shortly after his death and will kiss him. That's where the similarities end, however. Juliet's kiss will not bring Romeo back to life, and she will join him in death not long after.
And so, Romeo's seemingly happy dream actually foreshadows the tragic events to come.
