I can understand why Hamlet was breaking down under all that stress. His problems aren't really what a normal teenager would face. His uncle has killed his dad, and his dad's murderer married his mother. Also, the pressure of being a prince in a country that just got out of a war must be stressful as well. So, I think I would be like Hamlet.

I would not really believe in ghost because it is hard to believe in those kind of supernatural things since it is always possible that it might trick you into doing foolish things. Probably, I would become more suspicious about my uncle, since he married my mother and took the crown, and declared himself as a king. Even though I found out that Claudius killed my father, I would use more reasonable method to punish him for what he had done rather than murder him and commit sins.

First of all i would not base my belief on my uncle being the killer of my father by simply seeing a ghost. As i consider his situation, he was totally attacked by sadness, depression and confusion all at once, e.g his dad's dead and on top of that his mother marries his uncle instead of grieving for her husband's death like him. At this time, it could be his hallucination, or just seeing what his mind wants to see. Obviously in the story it involves two other characters witnessing the ghost but if it was in real life i would say it would not be ethical for me to lead a plan on hating my uncle just by seeing a ghost. I mean i would be already hating my uncle for marrying my mom right away, so it could be me "wanting" to imagine my uncle as the murderer of my dad and take revenge based on this belief, which would be my stupidity.

I would not probably believe the ghost. I would be suspicious asking, why would my father tell me to kill my uncle? No father would do that to his son when he knows that his child will suffer spending his entire life planning for revenge.

I don't think I would ever have the guts to kill someone like that even though that person had killed my father. Maybe I would put that person in jail for life instead. I think life in jail is a harsher punishment than killing them and it would make me feel better because I didn't have to kill someone.

I would try to convince myself that I was just imagining the ghost. I would never kill someone just because some ghost told me to.

If I think myself as a young teenage boy, I would have done same thing as what Hamlet has caused. it's probably normal for teenager to have rebellious mind and do things that they want. Sine the death of his father was shocking, he definitely would have thought of killing King.

I personally believe in god..but i dont know if i would kill someone else just for a revenge. i mean i dont even feel like the ghost is real in the first place. I would start to question about my father's death but not believe everything the ghost told me. i dont know if i would believe what the ghost say unless i see it with my eyes. But its not like i wont totally believe it. i will go find if what the ghost said was completely true or not.

If I experienced what Hamlet is experiencing right now, I would not pretend to be crazy like Hamlet did. Instead, I would rationally tell people what really happened and avoid looking for revenge. Revenge is doing the same thing that the uncle did, so I would definitely not revenge.

Personally, if my papa ghost came to me and told me how he was murdered by my uncle, I would totally seek revenge and kill that monster who killed my dad. My dad wouldnt even have to tell m to go kill him. I think I would just do it. I really love my dad, no matter how annoying he gets. Nobody messes with my family.
