2. Lines twenty-three to twenty-seven stood out to me as important. These lines establish Horatio as a sensible, reasonable character. Horatio will only believe in the ghost if he sees it himself. When he does see the specter, it offers proof that ghost Hamlet will see later on in the play is real. If Horatio, the level-headed character, sees the ghost, readers are more likely to believe that Hamlet truly did see the ghost of his father. Without these lines, Horatio would appear as just another curious, frightened man like Bernardo and Marcellus, offering no support of Hamlet's later seeings.
3. When will Hamlet arrive? Why is there a ghost? Why will the ghost not speak? Is it really the ghost of King Hamlet? What's the deal with the ghost leaving when the rooster crew?
5. I thought the ghost sightings were interesting. Ghost King Hamlet wandered through the halls but would not speak to Horatio. I am curious as to why he is haunting the castle. Typically in plays, novels, movies, etc. a ghost appears because the person's soul is not at rest (or at least that's how it was in the Haunted Mansion, well I think so at least. I haven't seen it in a while). Therefore, I believe there is something fishy regarding the king's death. Why else would he haunt the castle?
