Detailed explanation-1: -On a bleak, frigid night, the guards Francisco and Bernardo tell Horatio, a friend of Hamlet, about the ghost they had seen that resembles Hamlet’s father. They convince Horatio to join them and attempt to talk with the ghost if it reappears.
Detailed explanation-2: -They entreat the Ghost to stay and talk, but it dissolves into the night. Saying he would not believe had he not seen for himself, Horatio is astounded to have seen the Ghost of King Hamlet dressed in the armor he wore when he conquered old King Fortinbras and defeated the Poles.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. Horatio asks the Ghost to speak, and reveal its secret.
Detailed explanation-4: -Horatio seizes the opportunity to tell Hamlet about his encounter with the Ghost of the old king. Hamlet agrees to watch that night in case the Ghost walks again. It is significant that Claudius admonishes Hamlet as he addresses him for the first time in the play.
