The curtain went up, or the house lights went down. Anyway, something happened to tell the audience that the play had started. And of course Francisco has to be seen by Bernardo before Bernardo can say the opening line of the play.
The speech reflects upon life and death. How something that was once alive (the court jester) and whom Hamlet had spent much time with is now lifeless and a rotting corpse.
Hamlet, try to look happy and be nice to the new king.
Horatio has seen the Ghost.
The ghost of Hamlet's father is being referred to here.
SInce you don't show the actual excerpt, it is most likely that you are referring to the scene where the watchmen have just seen the ghost of Hamlet's father.
No
The watchmen have seen the ghost of King Hamlet walking the ramparts of Elsinore Castle before the excerpt from Act I Scene I of "Hamlet" where Marcellus says, "It faded on the crowing of the cock."

The allusions in the two excerpts help establish a tone of seriousness and depth. In the first excerpt, the allusion to Shakespeare's "To be or not to be" soliloquy from Hamlet brings a sense of contemplation and existential weight. In the second excerpt, the allusion to the Greek myth of Icarus conveys a tone of caution and consequences for overreaching.
the play is called Hamlet and was writing by William Shakespeare.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet
No, Hamlet is an only child.
Hamlet Sr (Old Hamlet) was the King of Denmark and Hamlet Jr's (Hamlet) father. Hamlet Sr dies at the beginning of the play and the story follows Hamlet Jr as the main character. Hope this helps, Have a great day.
