Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In many ways, Horatio is the exact opposite of his best friend Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Horatio is an old and trusted friend of Hamlet’s. They met as students in Wittenberg.
Detailed explanation-5: -As a character, Horatio is presented to us as utterly dependable, well educated, stoical, dispassionate and devout. Of all the major characters, he alone remains uncontaminated by the corruption in Elsinore, and Hamlet’s election of him as the person to tell his story is thoroughly appropriate.
