Hamlet is quite similar to Oedipus. Both characters struggle in an internal way. Also, both characters eventually lose their fathers. In Hamlet, when the ghost is seen, he says that "if it assume my noble father's person, I'll speak to it" (Hamlet). Likewise, in Oedipus, he aims a threat to the unknown murderer, stating "and on the murderer this curse I lay" (Oedipus). Both Hamlet and Oedipus seem to have a certain respect and some sort of connection with their fathers.
