Hamlet Act 1 Scene 4 Notes

Celebrating that Claudius took the throne

Hamlet thinks that this celebration makes them all look bad, even their good attributes look negative due to the excessive drinking and partying 

Claudius raised suspicion by celebrating because he should still be mourning his uncles death. Instead, it seems that this was made all about him. 

Hamlet recognizes his fathers ghost because it so closely resembles his father and begs the ghost to inform him as to why he is still there. 

Horatio thinks that the ghost will wrongly influence Hamlet.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
