With the Ghost’s appearance, Hamlet’s private journey toward discovering the elusive truth begins. The Ghost reveals the startling story about the murder exclusively to Hamlet, leading Hamlet to test its validity alone. While attempting to discover the truth about the Ghost and its revelation, Hamlet confronts the ever-widening horizon of recognition. What tantalizes Hamlet is not only the true identity of the Ghost but the very nature of human being. Postponing his own immediate action of revenge, Hamlet attempts to gain a clear insight into broader issues regarding human nature, his motivations and justifications for actions, and the meaning of life and death. Inviting extreme frustration and confusion, Hamlet contemplates on people around him as well as himself. Only when Hamlet realizes his own limitations and the futility of his attempts to grasp the ultimate truth, he decides to terminate his endless questioning and reasoning, and boldly takes the step into the action.
