Another interesting theme. Are you asking someone to write an essay for you, or do want to discuss this? You will get a lot more cooperation here if you are prepared to put some effort in yourself. I promise.

I just do not understand the question. I want at least one sentence to explain it.

Psychoanalysis is a method of analysing the mind. It was invented by Sigmund Freud about 100 years ago. It is now a trendy method of literary criticism. Do not ask me why teachers expect complete novices to psychology or literary criticism to understand it.
The question asks you to discuss the supernatural element in Hamlet (the ghost, the many references to predestination, astrology etc.) using psychoanalytic theory.
The question asks you to:
1. understand psychoanalytic theory
2. read and understand Hamlet, noting the supernatural elements.
3. Discuss 2. with reference to 1.

I wish I could make it easier.
