Horatio’s initial attitude towards Bernardo's and Marcellus's report about seeing the ghost of the late king during the past two successive nights upon the battlements of Elsinore Castle is skeptical.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Bernardo and Marcellus see the ghost of the late king Hamlet who was murdered by his brother in Act I Scene. Horatio’s initial attitude towards Bernardo's and Marcellus's report about seeing the ghost of the late king during the past two successive nights upon the battlements of Elsinore Castle is skeptical.
Horatio who is a good friend of Hamlet and a very intellectual man in the play, does not believe when he is first reported about the ghost of the later King, until the time he witnesses it himself.
Though he is unable to believe, it is a scene that illustrates the idea of the late King and Hamlet's fate and the need to avenge.
