Claudius vs Ghost Speeches

So after reading and re-reading both of the speeches made by each other characters I've noticed some key differences and and a few similarities. To begin with the differences, the Ghost's speech uses more imeragry and binary opposites to convey his message, while Claudius is a bit more literal. This was most notable to me, a high schooler, because i felt Claudius' tangent could be read once of twice to understand the meaning while the Ghost's lines had more hidden that could be found on my 5th re-read. The tone of Claudius' speech is lighter, and though transparent to the reader who realizes the truth of elder Hamlet's death, it has an element of sinceristy in specific lines which is constantly overturned by conflicting ideas. For example, the lines "That we with wisest sorrow think on him, Together with remembrance of ourselves" are said meaning that together the country mourns for the loss of their dear King, which places Claudius as a humble sucessor. Then the tables are turned quickly when he says "Holding a weak supposal of our worth, Or thinking by our late dear brother's death, Our state to be disjoint and out of frame, Colleaguèd with the dream of his advantage" which essentially says that it the country needs to move on and focus on the present. Due to the conflicting ideas and brashness of Claudius, this speech sets him up to be seen as a mistrusted character.
The Ghost's speech is different from Claudius because it is not as a literal and ideas must be taken at bay after reading it several times. When we worked with this siliolquy as tables in class, my table was given the section below...

" If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not.
Let not the royal bed of Denmark be
A couch for luxury and damnèd incest.
But howsoever thou pursuest this act,
Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive
Against thy mother aught. Leave her to heaven
And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge
To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once.
The glowworm shows the matin to be near,
And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire.
Adieu, adieu, adieu. Remember me. "

We noticed the references to nature as well as the biblical references made using hte words "thorns" and "heaven", both refering to Jesus and God. Additionally, the reference to the "bed" verses the "couch" was a point of interest for us as we considered the importance of a marital bed and the casualness of a couch. These questions of word choice alone prove the intensity of the Ghost's speech and the hidden meaning of his lines. The tone of the Ghost is also must colder and more intense. His words provide images of harshness such as leprecy, tratiousous and seduction. While Chaudius does has refernce to some minutally disgusting things like war, they are not nearly as deliveried with nearly as much conviction as the Ghost's speech.
I realize having seen each of these speechs in movie form may cloud my opinion of each, yet even prior to this class when I read Hamlet on my own, I decided from the first act alone that Claudius was a character I was suppose to hate and the Ghost was a character I was to fear while seeking vengence for. This has led me to believe that the intention and early placement of these speechs was to make the reader beleive and see a certian version of each of the specific characters. But then again...what the hell do I know?
