Horatio throughout Act 1 by grah https://padlet.com/meowmeowmrow/f1hpoou8fnc2sxq6 Made with a cold hug en-us 2021-10-20 01:58:29 UTC 2025-02-05 15:57:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://66.media.tumblr.com/8ba1c93694b75f3c3b9873dc59f74e0b/tumblr_nidr6iTHef1qcwo68o6_500.gif Horatio in Act 1, Scene 1 meowmeowmrow https://padlet.com/meowmeowmrow/f1hpoou8fnc2sxq6/wish/1883865246 Horatio first appears when following guards to come to witness the ghost of King Hamlet. He knows a lot about the current political state of Denmark as seen when he explains to the guards why they seem to be more vigilant. 
We see in scene 1 that Horatio is a scholar through Marcellus 
"Thou art a scholar. Speak to it, Horatio" 
We can see his knowledge as a scholar when he talks about corpses and Julius Ceaser: 
" In the high and mighty Roman Empire, just before the emperor Julius Caesar was assassinated, corpses rose out of their graves and ran through the streets of Rome speaking gibberish."
After seeing the ghost, he decides to go tell Hamlet, which shows he has a close relationship with Hamlet.

During their greeting, we can see that he is more biased towards Hamelts views on the marriage of Claudius and Gertrude: 
"Well, sir, it’s true it came soon after."
This tells us that Horatio is a bit of a "yes man", as he doesn't sound too sure about his opinion. It is clear that Hamlet influences Horatio's opinions.
Afterwards, he describes the ghost's movements very visually which tells us that he values precisely detailed descriptions. ]]> 2021-11-11 11:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/meowmeowmrow/f1hpoou8fnc2sxq6/wish/1883892485 Horatio in Act, Scene 4 meowmeowmrow https://padlet.com/meowmeowmrow/f1hpoou8fnc2sxq6/wish/1883907110 Horatio and Marcellus are taking Hamlet to see the ghost. Once they witness it, they try prevent Hamlet from following the ghost. Horatio states to Hamlet that "what if it [the ghost] tempts you to jump into the sea, sir? Or to the terrifying cliff that overhangs the water,"
This shows that Horatio is concerned for Hamlets health. We see this a second time, when Horatio convinces Marcellus to follow Hamlet together.

"Please let him be all right!"
Hamlet relays the exchange he had with the ghost and makes Horatio promise to not tell anyone, which to Horatio earnestly agrees with. 
Hamlet also says: 
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
This shows us that Horatio has a more set philosophy, and isn't very open-minded to other concepts. An example of his set philosophy is seen in Act 1, Scene 1 when he describes the guards experience as their imagination. Marcellus also goes on to say how he had to "beg" Horatio to come. Again, Horatio fortifies his belief that the ghost won't appear when he says " Tush, tush, twill not appear."
