Hamlet, Part 5: Characteristics of Elizabethan Drama

Question 2 • CA-English Language Arts 12 A

How does this discussion between Hamlet and the ghost affect the main conflict in the play?

Answer
A
It sets the main conflict in motion.
B
It shows how the conflict is resolved.
C
It shows that Hamlet’s conflict is with the ghost.

Explanation

The ghost tells Hamlet that Claudius murdered his father and urges him to take revenge. This revelation gives Hamlet a reason to act and creates the central struggle over whether and how he will avenge the murder. So the conversation sets the main conflict in motion; it does not resolve the conflict or make the ghost Hamlet’s enemy.
