Banquo, the ghost from Macbeth and Hamlet’s father, the ghost in Hamlet Essay Example

and Hamlet began talking.

Hamlet's father's ghost told Hamlet that his brother King Claudius had murdered him and that Hamlet must revenge his father's death. He then disappeared and reappeared again when Hamlet was talking to his mother Queen Gertrude. Only Queen Gertrude could not see Hamlet's father's ghost. So Banquo's ghost did not talk and appeared only once which was for a short period of time. But Hamlet's father's ghost was the completed opposite of Banquo's ghost. Hamlet's father's ghost appeared several times and talked. So that is my last point.

So my conclusion is that these two supernatural characters from two of William Shakespeare's most famous plays which were Macbeth and Hamlet had a few similarities like they both were murdered for greedy purposes and both were wearing some sort of war clothing but the majority of the comparisons were differences. For example the both of them were murdered in different ways, Hamlet's father's ghost talked while Banquo's ghost didn't. I think the main reason for this was that William Shakespeare created these two supernatural characters for his plays' Macbeth and Hamlet for different reasons.
