Answer:

He introduces a major conflict.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge act of Hamlet for the wrongful death of his father, King Hamlet. The young prince sets about exacting revenge on his Uncle/ stepfather and current king Claudius.

Act I scene ii of the play is when Queen Gertrude asks her new husband King Clausius to try to persuade her son Prince Hamlet to stay in Denmark. But more importantly than that, the ghost's appearance to the guards had led to the discovery of it being the dead king's ghost. In this second scene, Horatio finally decides to inform Hamlet about his late father's ghost and even decides to accompany them on guard the next time. This scene introduces the major conflict which will be the theme of the whole play.

An example of how they are foil characters can be found in their first interaction. Benvolio says to the servants,

Part fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do

attempting to separate them and asks Tybalt to"keep the peace" to which Tybalt replies

What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee
