Hamlet isn't in conflict with his father, he's in conflict with his uncle. He sees the ghost of his father once and agrees to do everything he wants. That's not really conflict.

Actually, he is in conflict with his father because at first, he questions the ghost appearance and he hesitates to kill the king because he lacks courage. So yes he has conflict with his father.

At no point does he disagree with what his father says. His hesitance comes as a result of his fatal flaw- his need to debate everything before actually doing anything, and to think endlessly of consequences.

But, it's your essay.

I'm not saying he disagrees with him. I'm saying that he questions if the ghost is honest. Don't you remember him talking to Horatio about the ghost and if it was honest or playing mind games with him?

Btw, you just said he is hesitant before making an action because of his fatal flaw. His fatal flaw is caused by what his father has told him.
