Horatio, in Act 1 scene 1. Hamlet doesn't see it until scene 4. It has to be this way because in scene 2 Horatio tells Hamlet that he has seen the Ghost.

Hamlet is the only character who sees King Hamlet's ghost throughout the playTrue or False?
False. At the beginning of the play, Bernardo and Francisco also saw the ghost. They were the first ones stated to have seen the ghost of Hamlet's father.
Where did the ghost appear in Hamlet?
In the first Scene, Act I scene 1, the Ghost is seen by sentinels at a platform outside the castle. (The "platform" is a raised area, an earthen mound, that gives an elevated viewing position. In performance, stage or movie, the first scene is often set on the castle ramparts, but Shakespeare's dialogue explicitly contradicts that.) In Scene 4 (Act I scene 4) the Ghost is seen by Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcellus, again at the platform. In Scene 5 (Act I scene 5) the Ghost is still being seen by Hamlet, alone now, at some distance from the platform. (This scene is probably set in or near the graveyard, but the location is not explicit in the dialogue, and identifying the setting as the graveyard relies on subtle details of interpretation.) In Scene 11 (Act 3 scene 4), the Closet Scene, the Ghost is seen by Hamlet (but not by Gertrude) in Gertrude's private room. So, overall, the Ghost appears in four Scenes, at three locations. If the questioner only wanted to know where the Ghost first appears, the answer is: at the sentinels' platform. And that happens in the first Scene.
What does Horatio learn about what has happened to Hamlet in the letter?

What did Hamlet tell Horatio he stole from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?
After the performance of the Mousetrap (or The Murder of Gonzago), Claudius retires and attempts to pray for forgiveness for his crime. But how, he asks himself, can he be forgiven since he is "still possessed of those effects for which [he] did the murder: [his] Crown, [his] own ambition, and [his] Queen." These are the things which he got as a result of the murder of his brother.

Who are Hamlets friends?
Horatio is Hamlet's most trusted friend. Hamlet tells him everything about the ghost that he saw and the plans for revenge that he has against Claudius. Laertes is also one of Hamlet's friends but they fight during the play because of what Hamlet did to Ophelia and because Hamlet killed Polonius.

Hamlet swears horatio for two things what are they?
Hamlet and Horatio do not run into each other at the very beginning of the play; it Act I Scene 2 before they meet, and Hamlet already has one soliloquy under his belt. Nor does he talk at all about swearing until after he has seen and talked to the ghost, in Scene 5. Then he asks Horatio and Marcellus to swear "Never make known what you have seen tonight," and "Never to speak of this that you have seen," and "Never to speak of this that you have heard, " which are all pretty much the same thing. He also gets them to swear "never, so help you mercy, how strange or odd soe'er I bear myself . . . note that you know aught of me." This is a bit different. The first three oaths are "don't tell anyone about the ghost." but the fourth one is "If I start acting weird, don't let on that you know the reason why."
What is a good play beginning?
Hamlet is a good example of a play's beginning: the sentries challenge each other on the cold, dark night; Marcellus tells the disbelieving Horatio about the ghost's past appearances, leading to the appearance of the ghost itself, and the vow to tell Hamlet what they saw. Oedipus has a good beginning, with the people coming to the king to beg for him to do something about the plague which is ravishing the city and him vowing to lift the plague.

What happened when the first ghost was sighted?
Who could ever say they saw the first ghost that was ever sighted, I suppose a lot of us would actually wonder if what you saw was infact a ghost or a figment of your imagination, if a ghost was ever first sighted you would probably have to go back to cavemen days, maybe he saw a ghost dinosaur!!
