Hamlet Act I Scene V

-"Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder." 
-The ghost is King Hamlet's spirit, that is in hell
-At that time period, Kings were mostly cruel
-King Hamlet was murdered
-King Claudius was the murderer
-"O my prophetical soul, my uncle,"  from the beginning, Hamlet knew it was his uncle, but he didn't have any proof.
-Claudius seduced Gertrude when King Hamlet was still alive
-Gertrude fell for Claudius and lost love for Hamlet
-King Hamlet tells Hamlet to revenge Claudius, not Gertrude (let the heavens be the judge of her; guilt)
-Knowing it and doing it is different 
-All characters swear to not speak any of ghost incident to anyone
-"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
-"The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right."
-Hamlet highlights that he will act different
