The 1st scene happens in the middle of the night, on the dark and windy castle wall. The guards are freezing with cold and trembling with fear, as there's a Ghost who appears and wants to say something.

On the other hand, the 2nd scene happens at court, where all the courtiers are present, along with the queen and the new king Claudius. Although the former king has recently passed out (or murdered, as the reader will find out later), everybody is serene and optimistic. Only the melancholic prince Hamlet is missing.

The two settings are juxtaposed with a context that binds them together (adding to the contrast, at the same time): everybody is well aware of the strange and sudden circumstances of the old king's death. The 1st scene is spooky because of his Ghost who seeks young Hamlet. The 2nd scene leaves a bitter taste because his funeral has been followed by a wedding all too soon.

Ganezh [65]

After his arrival in Britain, Hastings and his interests were largely ignored by the British businessmen. Through this hyperbolic remark by Hastings, Twain tells the reader that English society at the time was generally unsympathetic toward foreigners.

If war broke out, might it be unlikely that fighting would happen in Britain?
BabaBlast [244]
I think it would be likely.  Britain is a country that is well-developed and has a decent military.  If you are referring to war in London or other big cities, I think the armies would try to keep warfare on the battlefield, not urban areas.  However, to counter that, (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe London is on the water, so a type of naval invasion would be likely.  It also depends on who the fighters are.  Britain v. U.S.A. for example, evacuations of cities would begin, and it's likely we'd see another Refugee Crisis like the one happening now in Europe, but smaller.  But the U.K is part of the U.N., a huge group of unified countries.  If war were to break out, it's likely forces would be pushed out easily with the help of other powers/countries.
