Detailed explanation-1: -Marcellus, Barnardo and Francisco Marcellus, Bernardo (or Barnardo) and Francisco are sentries at Elsinore. Francisco gives up his watch to Bernardo in the opening of the play, and it is Bernardo and Marcellus, who first alert Horatio to the appearance of King Hamlet’s Ghost.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ghost first appears to a duo of soldiers-Bernardo and Marcellus-and Hamlet’s friend, Horatio. The men draw their swords and stand in fear, requesting that Horatio, as a scholar, address the Ghost.
Detailed explanation-3: -Horatio is with Bernardo and Marcellus because they want Horatio to witness the appearance of the apparition so that they will have someone else acknowledge its happening. Horatio is listed as Prince Hamlet’s friend and confidant and Marcellus refers to Horatio as a “scholar” when the apparition first appears.
Detailed explanation-4: -Marcellus and Bernardo have seen a ghost on the castle battlements for the past two nights. Horatio comes to investigate and Marcellus informs the other guards that Horatio has said ‘’tis but our fantasy, / And will not let belief take hold of him’.
