Detailed explanation-1: -The cock crows and, despite their efforts to waylay it with Marcellus’ sword, the Ghost, once again, withdraws. Marcellus laments that they chose to practice violence on it, but Horatio states that a cock crowing could signal the approach of morning and that all spirits must return to their “confine(s)”.
Detailed explanation-2: -Roosters anticipate sunrise to get a head start on their daily hunt for food and defense of territory. But if one rooster in the neighbor has an internal clock that’s set a little early, he can stimulate other roosters to crow early, too. The rooster’s sunrise song is actually a way of establishing his territory.
Detailed explanation-3: -They will crow to indicate safety for their flock, to communicate their dominance, and to warn of danger. Some of us like the “cock-a-doodle-doo” of a cheerful rooster. But it’s their loud and incessant crowing which is also the reason why many urban neighborhoods prohibit roosters.
Detailed explanation-4: -Typically, the ‘crow’ and ‘hemlock’ represent something negative and inauspicious. They are symbols of sorrow. The dust of snow that the crow shakes off is meant to represent joy and hope.
