duty?173 Mar.
Horatio is a scholar and as such was sceptical of the reports of the sightings of a ghost seen by the guards on Watch, so he required to see the ghost himself. Upon seeing the spirit of the dead King Hamlet in battle dress he thinks that the ghost is come to give warning of some danger to the land as the warlike Fortinbras looks to reclaim the territory won by the dead King in battle and resolves to tell Prince Hamlet in the hope tht the spirit will speak to Hamlet. Horatio also makes mention tht the ghost may have evil portent or purpose as goodly spirits are not driven back at the coming of daybreak.
