While outside with the guards late at night, the men encountered a ghost,

The ghost first appears to three soldiers on guard: Bernado, Francisco, and Marcellus, along with Horatio, a friend of Hamlet and visitor to Denmark. Bernado and Marcellus desire to reveal the ghost they have witnessed for the past

When Hamlet sees the ghost he is shocked that Horatio and Marcellus were being truthful, he immediately starts rejoicing and asking the ghost questions “Say why is this? Wherefore? What should we do?”

Claudius brings up the issue about Fortinbras plan to invade Denmark, he states the he has talked to Fortinbras uncle who told him that Fortinbras promised not to stop the plan to invade Denmark.

One dark winter night, Bernardo, Marcellus, and Horatio told Hamlet they believed they saw the ghost of his decease father, and the ghost

The first problem in the play occurs when a ghost begins showing up at the castle. At the beginning of the play two guards stand outside of the castle speaking of a ghost they had seen twice before “this dreaded sight twice seen of us” (1.1.25). Horatio, a scholar, stands with the men when the ghost comes by again and Marcellus, a guard, says to Horatio “Thou art a scholar; speak to it Horatio” (1.1.42). After failed attempts at speaking with the ghost, it leaves and Horatio contemplates whose ghost it could have been. Marcellus asks Horatio “Is it not like the king?” (1.1.58) to which Horatio agrees and points out that the ghost wore the very armor the late King wore to battle with Norway. Horatio knew that he should consult Prince Hamlet about the appearance of the late King Hamlet’s ghost as perhaps he will know what to do. Claudius, brother to the late King, announces that he has married his brother’s wife

The story opens up with the guards and Hamlet’s friend, Horatio, seeing the ghost of Hamlet’s father and attempting to speak to it. Afterwards, Horatio speaks of the possibility that the ghost is hinting at a possible revenge attack from Fortinbras of Norway on their kingdom. This could be possible foreshadowing and setting-up of future events to take place. After this sighting, the story shifts towards the wedding between Hamlet’s uncle and Hamlet’s mother. During this wedding, we are first introduced to Hamlet. Hamlet displays his grief

In scene one the ghost of Hamlet’s father appears to Horatio, Marcellus, and Barnardo. Horatio begs the spirit to speak (Act 1.Scene 1.), but it refuses. Horatio tells Hamlet. The Ghost appears to Hamlet and the ghost wants to speak in private so they leave (Act 1. Scene 4.).

2) The late king had recently defeated and killed Fortinbras’s father in battle and, as a result, conquested Norwegian land. The Norwegian prince (also named Fortinbras) is now raising armies in order to retake this land from Denmark.

After Old Hamlets death in the play, the two guards on duty and Young Hamlets friend spot a ghost-like figure that resembles Old Hamlet. These two guards, Marcellus and Bernardo, and Young Hamlet’s friend, Horatio, tell Young Hamlet about the ghost-like figure they spotted. They describe the way that he was dressed in armor as if he was ready for battle. When Young Hamlet sees and speaks to the ghost he finds out information on his father’s death. Young Hamlet’s issue is that he is not sure if this ghost is real or if it is a figment of his imagination. He also begins to question that the ghost can be the devil trying to tempt him. Hamlet says, “the spirit that I have seen may be the devil: and the devil hath the power to assume a pleasing shape” because the devil can take on many forms (2.2.530-531). Throughout the play, there are many reasons for us to believe that the ghost is real and is not a figment of Young Hamlet’s imagination. The ghost in

The Ghost of the previous Danish king in Hamlet is a potent element that causes Prince Hamlet variety of reactions toward the world around him and the unexpected killer, King Claudius. Besides, the ghost is the tool of knowledge that lights Hamlet's heart with the love of insisting on searching the credibility of the crime. The Ghost of Hamlet's father commanded his son to do the act of revenge from his uncle the King of Denmark the killer of his father and the husband of his mother. Hamlet has been affected by the Ghost's command and his situation has been shifted from the psychological disorder situation before discovering the truth of the crime to accept the reality of the world around him, and from the hesitation and fear situation to

Horatio’s first assumption is that the ghost has returned because of some resolved issues, he talks to the ghost and ask the ghost to speak and tell him what he can do to ease the spirits pain and bring glory to his name. Horatio then assumes that the appearance of the dead king’s ghost is a warning that something unpleasant is going to happen to their country. Third reasoning that Horatio states for the appearance of the ghost is that the ghost may be attached to a treasure or prized item that is causing the ghost to be troubled.

The story opens in the cold and dark of a winter night in Denmark, while the guard is being changed on the battlements of the royal castle of Elsinore. For two nights in succession, just as the bell strikes the hour of one, a ghost has appeared on the battlements, a figure dressed in complete armor and with a face like that of the dead king of Denmark, Hamlet’s father. A young man named Horatio, who is a school friend of Hamlet, has been told of the apparition and cannot believe it, and one of the officers has brought him there in the night so that he can see it for himself.
