Hamlet

Hamlet

This page in Shakespeare's "Hamlet" has the words that Mr. Cattell utters at the end of the story, "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio,/ Then are dreamt of in your philosophy.". This quote could be seen as a way to say that the ghost that appeared before Mr. Denton is beyond what we could see and explain. In the context of "Hamlet", it means the same thing. Hamlet is trying to explain to Horatio that there are some things that not even the most educated people can explain. It is an ominous way to end the story because James doesn't go into detail about the encounter of the hairy ghost. It is as if the mystery of the ghost encounter will never be addressed again.
