Dont get too excited yet, sir. Just listen carefully while I tell you the amazing thing I saw, with these gentlemen as witnesses
Horatio informs hamlet about a ghost which appeared to him last night
For God's sake, let me hear it
The ghost looked like the dead king which brought up concerns for Hamlet
Upon hearing the news, Hamlet started getting excited
Horatio begins telling Hamlet the whole story of when and how the ghost appeared to him
After midnight, for two nights running, these two guards, Marcellus and Barnardo, saw a figure that looked very much like your father, in full armor from head to toe.
The ghost appeared to him and two other people at Midnight,
It just appeared before them and marched past them with slow dignity three times, a staff's distance from their amazed eye while they turned, quaking with fear and too shocked to speak. They told me all about this, so on the third night
while they were doing their jobs as watchmen
I agreed to come stand guard with them, to see for myself. It happened again, just as they had described. I knew your father. This ghost looked as much like him as my two hands are like each other
