A Ghost appears that looks exactly like the recently-deceased King of Denmark, King Hamlet. The Ghost reacts to the men, but doesn't speak, and it vanishes into the darkness. The men discuss a military buildup in Denmark in response to Fortinbrasse recruiting an army in Norway. Although Fortinbrasse's army is supposedly for use against Poland, they fear he may attack Denmark to get revenge for his father's death, and reclaim land his father lost to King Hamlet. They wonder if the Ghost is an omen of disaster for Denmark, and they decide to tell Prince Hamlet about it. | A Ghost appears that looks exactly like the recently-deceased King of Denmark, King Hamlet.
