"Hamlet" characterized the ideal of Renaissance, especially in the point of Hamlet's character. The eminent value of "Hamlet" has consisted in his peculiarity - his antic disposition.
At the same time, the Ghost in "Hamlet" played an important role in which it was outstandingly different from other drama in the Elizabethan and Jacobean Era. No other ghost in the drama had the essential role to drive the plot into catastrophe and a terrible tragedy than the ghost in "Hamlet" had.
It had been said that Ghost appear as voices of comfort - Prologue in the drama. But they were evoked by acts of black magic, served as devices of exposition, and demoniac nature of the ghost drove the "Hamlet" into disastrous tragedy.
Ghost in "Hamlet" was a personification of Evil - Goblin damned. In short, a survey of ghosts on the Elixabethan stage shows us the fact that Shakespeare was not merely revitalizing a familiar convention in Hamlet and that ghost in "Hamlet" was like, no other in the drama of the English Renaissance.
Another important fact is as follow:the revenge on the Elizabethan stage was doomed to be the Evil, but on the stage, to be permitted especially in case of father's revenge.
The Ghost in "Hamlet", analyzed on the basis of Christian doctrines, is sarely Goblin damned.
