Detailed explanation-1: -Horatio is the only true friend Hamlet has in the play. Throughout the play, Horatio demonstrates his friendship and loyalty to Hamlet. He helps Hamlet with his plans and keeps his secrets. Horatio would have reported Hamlet for his accusations against Claudius if they were not friends.
Detailed explanation-2: -Horatio epitomizes the faithful friend. He only questions Hamlet’s judgment once, when Hamlet confides the fates of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Otherwise, Horatio supports every rash decision Hamlet makes. Horatio is the man Hamlet wants to be.
Detailed explanation-3: -Horatio is an old and trusted friend of Hamlet’s. They met as students in Wittenberg.
Detailed explanation-4: -Horatio is a good and loyal friend to Hamlet. He does not reveal what the ghost told Hamlet, he defends his honor throughout the play, and he does many favors for him.
Detailed explanation-5: -If Horatio were not there, Hamlet’s sanity would truly be in doubt. Horatio’s second purpose is to be Hamlet’s one true confidant. Apart from Hamlet’s soliloquies, his conversations with Horatio are the only insight we have into what the Prince is really thinking and feeling.
