My Notes:
- Bernardo, Francisco, and Marcellus are all guards - guarding the gate of the castle.
- Horatio is a scholar, who accompanied Marcellus. He's skeptical - only believes what he sees.
- All four of them see the ghost of the king and the three of the guards urged Horatio to talk to it.
- The ghost of the king - Hamlet Sr. - walked away without replying.
- All of them decided to talk to Hamlet Jr.
Class Notes:
- Shakespeare attracts the audience's attention by keeping them in dark in terms of what the setting of the play is and how, when, and where events happened.
- The castle is in Denmark.
- The king died after acquiring land from Fortenbras.
- Fortenbras Jr. now seeks revenge to get back what was rightfully his all along.
