Hamlet seeing his mother going to something she wasn't happy with made him mad but was powerless and didn't know what to do.
One day, while Hamlet was having a personal training in the early hours of the morning, he saw an apparition of his father. His ghost of his father told him how he was murdered by own brother Claudius out of greed. After delivering his message, the ghostly figure vanished and Hamlet vowed to avenge his father's death.
His mind raced to how good a king his father was, how his mother the queen is suffering in the hands of King Claudius, his uncle. All these grew his determination to avenge his father's death.
He began displaying different actions to see if his uncle would realize that he knows his secret but he refused to pay any attention to all his displays as his conscience had been poisoned as he only sees bad as good and never knows good.
