Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Why doesn’t Horatio want Hamlet to follow the Ghost? He is afraid that either the ghost will either harm or kill Hamlet. What does the Ghost tell Hamlet? He says that Claudius poured poison in his ear and caused his death.

Detailed explanation-2: -What two reasons does Hamlet provide for being unafraid to follow the ghost of his father? His soul can’t be hurt and he thinks his life is not worth anything.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because Hamlet claims not to care for his life and that the ghost can not harm his soul even in the event that he dies, he follows. Horatio and Marcellus think that the ghost and Hamlet following it is a bad omen for Denmark.

Detailed explanation-4: -Horatio then assumes that the appearance of the dead king’s ghost is a warning that something unpleasant is going to happen to their country. Third reasoning that Horatio states for the appearance of the ghost is that the ghost may be attached to a treasure or prized item that is causing the ghost to be troubled.
