Who informed Horatio about the Ghost?
Horatio tell HAmlet that after midnight his father ghost shows up
What does Hamlet ask of haratio and marcellus at the end of act 1?
He asks them to swear not to tell about the ghost's visit and why Hamlet may appear crazy.
What happens in act 1 of Hamlet?
The ghost of Hamlet's father appears to some guards. The guards tell Hamlet who says he will go watch for the ghost. Laertes, son of Polonius, embarks for France. Polonius tells his daughter Ophelia, who has been flirting with Hamlet (or maybe more, it's not clear), to give him the cold shoulder. The ghost appears to Hamlet, gets him alone and tells him that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle and the current king, Claudius. Hamlet swears to revenge him then swears the guards to secrecy.
What is Claudius' response when Gertrude tells him Hamlet has murdered Polonius?
Hamlet doubts the ghost's statement that Claudius had murdered him--the ghost could be lying. He re-enacts the murder in a play and has it performed in front of Claudius. Sure enough, it causes an attack of conscience in Claudius.
Why does horatio think the ghost will speak with Hamlet?
Marcellus thinks that Horatio may know how to speak to a ghost because he is a University Man. I guess Marcellus assumes that's the kind of thing you learn at a University.
