This painting was made to feel ominous and give a sense of dread. The ghost has little defining features aside from his horns, which means something sinister about the ghost. Although the king would not look exactly like this, I like the atmosphere of this painting.

"What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord?
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason"
And draw you into madness? Think of it.

Another disembodied head with few features; it was made to strike up discomfort and a sense of foreboding. This is the type of energy I felt the king had, even I don't believe he looked like this.

"My hour is almost come When I to sulf’rous and tormenting flames Must render up myself. "

I felt the king to be filled with vengeance and anger, and his spirit does not rest because of it, he does not accept his death.

"Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder...
Murder most foul, as in the best it is,
But this most foul, strange, and unnatural."

Here, the king looks very sorrowful and mysterious, he does not even need a full body to express that he is a ghostly figure.

"As thou art to thyself.
Such was the very armor he had on
When he the ambitious Norway combated.
So frowned he once when, in an angry parle,
He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.
’Tis strange."

This image makes me think of the word "specter." His eyes are dark and hollow and his body is incomplete, emphasizing he is not fully part of this world.

"I am thy father’s spirit,
Doomed for a certain term to walk the night
And for the day confined to fast in fires
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
Are burnt and purged away."
