When night came, he took his position with Horatio, and Marcellus, one of the guards, upon the platform. It was a cold night, and the air was unusually raw and nipping. Hamlet and Horatio and their companion fell into a conversation about the coldness of the night, which was suddenly broken off by Horatio announcing that the ghost was coming.
Hamlet was struck with a sudden surprise and fear at seeing his father’s ghost. At first he called upon the angels to defend them, for he didn't know whether it was a good spirit or bad one, whether it came for good or evil. But young Hamlet gradually assumed more courage. His father looked at him so piteously,and seemed as if he wanted to have a conversation with him."Hamlet, King, Father!"young Hamlet called out. "Tell me why you have left your grave to come back and visit the earth. Let us know if there is anything which we could do to give peace to your spirit."
Then the ghost beckoned to Hamlet,motioning that he should go with him to some more remote place where they might be alone. Horatio and Marcellus tried to dissuade the young prince from following the ghost, for they feared that it might be some evil spirit.
They were worried that the ghost may tempt Hamlet to the neighboring sea or to the top of some dreadful cliff,and whisper in his ear to jump off. But their counsels could not alter Hamlet's determination. He cared too little about life to fear losing it. So young Hamlet, feeling as hardy as a lion, pushed them aside and followed the spirit.
When they were alone together, the spirit broke silence and told the prince that he was the ghost of King Hamlet, his father. He said that he had been cruelly murdered. He said that he was killed by his own brother Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, as Hamlet had already suspected, to succeed to his crown.
“I was sleeping in my garden， as I always do in the afternoon.＂ the ghost said.＂Then my brother came and poured the juice of poisonous henbane into my ears. As swift as quicksilver， it coursed through all the veins of my body， baking up the blood and spreading a crust-like leprosy all over the skin.＂
