Hamlet Act I Scene I

I feel kind of silly asking this. I’m doing a worksheet over Act I Scene I. It asks why the soldiers were guarding Elsinore Castle. I don’t remember reading that and its the only answer I haven’t found on the worksheet. Thanks.

Answer #1

Thank you! :)

Answer #2

-King Hamlet of Denmark has recently died from poisoning. -Denmark is in a state of high alert and preparing for possible war with Young Fortinbras of Norway. -A ghost resembling the late King Hamlet is spotted on a platform before Elsinore Castle in Denmark.

basically that second point… I haven’t read it in awhile though so I’m not 100% sure as to why they’re going to war

…its somehtin though
