Unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life,
This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him. 185
Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it,
As needful in our loves, fitting our duty? (Act 1 scene 1)(184-187)
Horatio a man of responsibilities and honesty will let Hamlet know what he saw King Hamlet’s Ghost out in the courtyard. I think it’s engaging because no one has the right to tell anyone anything but Horatio a true friend of Hamlet will let him know at his on risk of Hamlet thinking he is a liar or much of a fool.
