In a well-known adaptation of Hamlet, one actor plays both Hamlet and the ghost. What is the effect of this adaptation?

Having the same actor play Hamlet and the ghost makes the two figures visually resemble each other. This can suggest that the ghost is a projection of Hamlet’s mind rather than an independently real spirit, emphasizing the possibility that Hamlet imagines it. Therefore, the best answer is “It emphasizes the idea that the ghost is not real, but rather imagined by Hamlet.”
