The scene takes place during the evening and Horatio, Hamlet and Marcellus enters. Hamlet and Horatio start talking about the weather being cold and nippy and hamlet ask for the time where Horatio replies “I think it lacks of twelve.” and Marcellus immediately corrects his reply by saying “No, it is struck.” meaning it is after midnight.
Two trumpets are then set of on stage and Horatio asks what does it mean. Hamlet replies by saying it means that the king is having a party and is drinking German wine, Horatio then ask if this is a tradition and Hamlet says yes and tells us that this is a part of heritage and the country’s history. The Ghost then enters, Horatio reacts by telling hamlet that it is here and Hamlet starts then starts questioning it motive and if the ghost is his father or not and starts shouting at the ghost because hamlet is terrified by it presence.
The ghost then ask hamlet to come with it, he agrees but both Marcellus and Horatio believe it to be a bad idea because they don’t know for certain the ghost motive or for that matter anything about the ghost at all. as a result of hamlets stubbornness both Horatio and Marcellus try to hold Hamlet back but he protests and manages to escape, Both Hamlet and the ghost exits the scene.
Horatio and Marcellus then believe the best way forward is to follow them and both characters exit and the scene ends.
