1.1-Bernardo says "Who's there?". From the start of the play, you can see that Bernardo was anticipating the ghost and felt a sense of insecurity when he opens the door to Francesco This quote leads to important quote like, "Most Like. It harrows me with fear and wonder". Obviously they are scared when they have to meet the ghost, yet it sets the mood for the entire scene because they are also anxious on what the ghost have to say.

On Monday for Hamlab we began to read the very first page of Hamlet as a class. They play starts out with two simple words "Who's there?"
From the start of the play we can see how much suspense is already being built. We know that Francisco is keeping watch and it's almost midnight. So with this we can already see that people are antsy about their surrounding. We see that the perspective is already being questioned by Bernardo asking "who's there" After that the scene continues by Francisco being relieved of his duties so that Bernardo can keep watch with Horatio and Marcellus. Soon after all three friends gather and talk about a ghost that try have seen. Horatio is very skeptical of this ghost and doesn't believe that what Bernardo and Marcellus are say is true.
We stopped reading where the ghost enter but from just that small part of the scene we already see questioning of reality because both Bernardo and Marcellus swear that they saw ghost while Horatio is skeptical and doesn't believe them. We can also assume that there was a possibility that Francisco saw they ghost.
Our group discussed that because the play starts off with "who's there?" We can assume that Francisco was scarred being alone because he's not sure what's there in the forest. We also continue to ask that if that is the case that maybe the meaning of the play is about who’  s actually there and who's not? Which comes back to the idea of what is reality and what is fiction and who am I and who are you?
