How many times does the ghost appear in Hamlet?
He appears three times, in four different scenes. First he appears to Marcellus, Bernardo and Horatio in Act one Scene 1. He later appears to them with Hamlet in Act 1 Scene 4. Hamlet follows the ghost offstage then reappears chasing him in Act 1 Scene 5. The two scenes are part of the same appearance. Finally, the ghost appears briefly in the closet scene, Act 3 Scene 4.
How many times had the ghost appeared when Hamlet opened?
Marcellus says to Horatio that the sight has been "twice seen of us", meaning that he and Barnardo have seen it twice before the play starts.
In Act I Hamlet swears Horatio to two things. What are they?
"Never to speak of this that you have heard", by which he means the appearance of the ghost, although Horatio heard nothing from the ghost's lips. Also, "How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself . . .that you, at such times seeing me, never shall . . . note that you know aught of me." Horatio and Marcellus are not to suggest even that they have an idea why Hamlet is doing what he is doing.
How does the supernatural effect the theme in Hamlet?
Hamlet sees his father's ghost in the play telling him he was murdered and the ghost returns several times in the play. Shakespeare liked to use the supernatural in his plays with ghosts, witches, and other beings. Many times these characters foreshadow events or set events into action.
What does Hamlet mean in this quote you are but mad north northwest?
After Hamlet has discovered that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are false friends who are acting on behalf of King Claudius, Hamlet tells the two that he knows that the King thinks he is mad, and says, "I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw" (2.2.378-9). Literally, Hamlet is saying he is mad only when the wind blows in one particular point of the compass, north-north-west. In other words, he is mad only at certain times, or in certain situations. If sanity can be metaphorically identified with a compass that points true north, then Hamlet is playing with the trope here, saying that his supposed madness is only a little bit crazy; he is not too far off the mark. Polonius himself observes that Hamlet's apparent mad statements have some "method"; he isn't allowing himself to stray very far from his true intentions, even when he is sorely pressed to do so. Probably his craziest moments are immediately after the Ghost's revelation in Act I when Horatio and Marcellus speak with him.

Which 4 of the shakespeare plays do ghosts appear?
To my knowledge, Hamlet and Macbeth, are two, though I am by no means an expert. Hamlet's father's ghost appears three times, and Banquo's ghost appears to Macbeth at a banquet.There is also a ghost in his Julius Caesar, the ghost of Caesar who appears to Brutus.However, the ghostliest Shakespeare play is Richard III. Richard is visited by the ghosts of everyone he has murdered the night before the battle of Bosworth Field.All in all, there are four Shakespeare plays with ghosts.Hamlet (the ghost of Hamlet's father), Macbeth (the ghost of Banquo), Julius Caesar (the ghost of Caesar) and Richard III (the ghosts of all of Richard's victims: Prince Edward, Henry VI, his brother George, Rivers, Grey, Vaughan, his two nephews, Hastings, his wife and Buckingham)This is not easy to answer. Is Ariel a ghost (the Tempest)? Is the little orphan boy in A Midsummer Nights Dream?There are several ghosts in Richard III (at least five); probably one in Troilus and Cressida; one in Julius Caesar; at least one in Macbeth (but probably more); at least one in Hamlet; and about 4 in Cymbeline.But for a proper answer one would need to define precisely what one means by 'ghost'.
