Scene 1
In this scene,a soldier named Francisco is standing on patrol,guarding Elsinore Castle in Denmark on a dark winter night. An officer named Bernardo came to relieve him of his duty and startled Francisco. Once Francisco departs another guard named Marcellus and Horatio, a friend of Prince Hamlet, joins Bernardo. Bernardo and Marcellus invited Horatio to stand watch with them because they claimed to have seen an apparition for the previous two nights. The ghost appears to be the deceased King Hamlet. Horatio was close to the king so the guards assumed that he would be able to identify the King better than them. Suddenly the ghost appears and all of Horatio skepticism vanished, as quickly as the ghost did. Horatio identified the ghost as the deceased King Hamlet because of the battle armor he was wearing. Then the ghost reappeared and Horatio attempted to communicate with him, however the ghost keeps his silence and disappeared as the first sign of dawn came. Horatio decides that it may be a sign of impending military attack from Norway because that old enemy now wants to regain lands lost to the now deceased King of Denmark. They decided to tell Prince Hamlet about the ghost, in hopes that if it is the ghost of King Hamlet it will not hesitate to talk to his son Hamlet.Scene 1
