How is Hamlet manipulated by Hamlet's Ghost in this area of the play

'I made to her in marriage, and to decline.

'Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor'.

He makes it clear on how his love for Gertrude was authentic and that Claudius love is no more than false. He asks himself how she could love someone like him then reject him so quickly and move on to his brother, and his next few lines state

'Radiant angel linked

Will sate itself in a celestial bed,

And prey on garbage'

How could such a monstrous beast (Claudius) use such as heavenly bed, while sleeping with his wife. Theses very lines of action has a great manipulation affect on Hamlet as he is once again held back by his mother as her behavior upsets him as well as the ghost. After getting Hamlet's attention, the ghost unfolds the story and brings an imagery of when his murder took place and how Claudius was involved. The setting of the murder is believed to be, 'within my orchard' in the 'afternoon upon my secure hour', but how could he be murdered which protected? He was killed by a very silent, clever move, poisoning the victim in the ear, 'with juice of cursed hebenon in a vial, and in the porches of my ears did pour', a very cunning and strategic method of killing someone, but it is also the most cowardly way. The next few lines give a shocking, disturbing imagery that Hamlet has bound to see now that he's under the ghost's manipulation. As the poison goes through his body, 'the swift as quicksilver it courses through the natural gates and alleys of the body', there is an imagery of this liquid destroying every cell in his body and thickening his blood like 'curd, like eager droppings into milk, the thin and wholesome blood', as his 'smooth body' becomes no longer smooth. The audience as well as Hamlet is faced with those very nine lines of disturbing, rough and horrible imagery as the poison travels through his body, enough to make Hamlet go crazy, as he does further on in the play.

'Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand, of life, of crown, of queen'

His whole life collapses before him, in a blink of an eye, unexpected, as he realizes that he will not only lose his life but his queen and his crown. The first piece of evidence of his brother's involvement, 'by a brother's hand' are only words and aren't real evidence that he actually killed the King.. The ghost makes it clear to Hamlet, 'let not the royal bed of Denmark be a couch for luxury and damned incest' that he will not rest until Hamlet has avenged his father. Something needs to be done about this horrible sin caused by Claudius, taking the imagery of how the royal bed shouldn't be used for luxury at this time as an example. The ghost forgives his wife at the end, telling Hamlet to forgive her too, 'against thy mother aught. Leave her alone to heaven' in other words, she hasn't done anything wrong, an innocent who has only done what was right. She has no involvement in his murder to leave her to go to heaven which Claudius goes to hell.

The impact of this speech on Hamlet has to be devastating, after listening to a ghost claiming to be his father, learning that his father was murdered by his very own uncle who has now become his step father and his mother's wife and marrying her too quickly; Hamlet has every right to go mad for the horrid imagery, language and the truth, as well as the ghost's physical appearance all appear before him, all of which manipulate him and become the cause for his next actions.
