Act 1 Scene 4

At last the entry of the mysterious ghost which unnerves the soul of Hamlet. He prys for answers from his two fellow mates Horatio and Marcellus. As the clock strikes past midnight the ghost appears and Hamlet immediatly begins to speak with it calling it "thee Hamlet" and kingly father. The ghost taunts Hamlet to go with him as in to speak in silence from no following ears. Horatio begs him not to go so the ghost does not force Hamlet to do something reckless or life threatening.
One of my favorite passages from Hamlet is on lines 65 to 68 where Hamlet leaves to follow the ghost
 "I do not set my life at a pin's fee,
And for my soul, what can it do to that
Being a thing immortal as itself?
It waves me forth again. I'll follow it"
Although this scene is short a few questions are left unanswered. Is the ghostly figure a figment of Hamlet's mind from the sorrow of his father's death. Trying to believe in anything that catches his grasps. Even Horatio replies with "He waxes desperate with imagination." Is this all real or is Hamlet loosing his mind.

Hamlet Act 1 scene 2

In the beginning of this scene the queen and Hamlet's Uncle just got married. The queen in which was originally married to Hamlet's father who had died. Hamlet's shadowy entrance shows the betrayal of his mother marrying his uncle and the sadness of his father's death. Hamlet's first soliliquey was the first quote that crossed my attention. It starts from lines 129 to line 159 on page 27 and 28. This shows the displeasure of his uncle and mother marrying "but two months" after his father's death. He is still in mourning and can't believe the betrayal of a mother and uncle to a father. This scene is nicely illustrated with him alone speaking what's in his mind that he can not say to anyone. This shows his true downfall in the entire book the death of a loving father. He is soon interupted by that of Horatio and Marcellus with the news of his father's ghost. This peaks some hope in young Hamlet as he asked if his "beard was grizzled" all characteristics which Haratio answered back with "it was, as I have seen it all my life." This scene also shows the bond of Horatio and Hamlet with his father connecting them both. Hamlet soon starts to fill discourage as in wondering why his father's ghost was still around and "armed" as if trying to figure out the source of the mystery. This draws a mysterious effect to the scene as to his the ghost really his father and why is he still here? Was he murdered? This is just the beginning of all the questions in the book and the start of the madness of Hamlet.
