Read the excerpt from Hamlet, Act I, Scene i.Marcellus: What! has this thing appear’d again to-night?Bernardo: I have seen nothing.Marcellus: Horatio says ’tis but our fantasy, And will not let belief take hold of him Touching this dreaded sight twice seen of us: Therefore I have entreated him along With us to watch the minutes of this night;

Marcellus asks whether the ghost has appeared again, and explains that Horatio doubts the sight is real even though others have seen it twice. Their uncertainty and expectation of a possible return make the scene feel tense and mysterious. This creates an air of suspense in the plot; the lines do not mainly show anger, describe the castle, or rely on clever wording for humor.
