Is Hamlet the only character who sees King Hamlet's ghost throughout the play?

No in the opening scene Horatio, Hamlets friend, sees the ghost, along with two sentries, Marcellus and Bernardo. The Sentries have seen the ghost on previous nights and have called Horatio to see it too.


What news does Horatio bring about Hamlet?

that king claudius has placed a bet for hamlet to win the fencing match. "has laid a great wager on your head"


How many times have Marcellus and Bernardo seen the ghost of King Hamlet?

to see if its really a 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.
