Horatio
in Act1 scene 1 Horacio is shown as highly intelligent, resonable man. Marcellous specifically elects horacio to talk to the ghost, rather than himself. When King hamlet visits his son, and horatio is told of what happens I think Horatio is somewhat skeptical of Hamlet. WHile he has seen the ghost with his own eyes, I think he believes that Hamlet is just useing this as a reason to "get back" at Claudius. In Act 3 scene 2 Hamlet somewhat randomly expresses to Horatio his high regard to Horatio's mind. Horatio is starting to see Hamlet go crazy and isn't too thrilled about it. So far Horatio is trying to subtly distance himself from Hamlet.

I appreciate the fact that you wrote on a different character than Hamlet, like everyone else. Cuz a little variety makes things interesting. I pretty much agree with the point that Horatio thinks that Hamlet just wants to get back at Claudius. Mostly cuz he acting like a psycho and crazy people do crazy things like kill people that they don't like. (i.e. Ted Bundy). And it also seems that Horatio is trying to slowly distance himself away from Hamlet cuz, well he is going insane in the membrane. I wouldnt want to be friends with a psycho either haha.
