Hamlet Quote Analysis
“ He waxes desperate with imagination” (I.ii.97).
Hamlet imagined seeing his father’s ghost because I think that he is so upset about his father’s death that he feels as if he is still there. Even Horatio tells Hamlet that he is imagining seeing his father’s ghost. He says he is desperate with imagination, which means that Hamlet is desperate to be united with his father again and wants to believe that he is there. Horatio and Marcellus continually tell Hamlet not to go with the ghost because they think that it will kill him. Hamlet refuses and goes with the ghost anyways because he anxiously wants to find out what the ghost of his father might have to say to him. I think he is imagining because he is still mournful over the death of his father.
