Horatio, Hamlets Confidant

             In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, there is only one person Hamlet can truly trust. He is Horatio, Hamlets best friend and confidant. Horatio and Hamlet went to school together, before Hamlet had to revenge his father's death. Throughout the whole play Horatio supports every decision Hamlet has to make, except for one. Horatio and Hamlet are best friends, Hamlet often thrives to be Horatio, in the way that he goes along with the world, he "plays the cards he is dealt". Horatio is smart enough to know when to say something, and when to keep his mouth shut. Hamlet had not figured out how to do that, and often wishes he had.
             When needed Horatio gives Hamlet his opinions on different subject matters. Throughout the play, Hamlet is one of the only people who can follow Hamlets thoughts, most of the others get confused and tend not to pay attention. Through out the play the two are inseparable, Horatio is there at the funeral for King Hamlet as well as at the castle when Hamlet and some other men are looking for the ghost of King Hamlet. And he is there at the end of the play holding Hamlets dead body. Hamlet trusts Horatio so much, he leaves it up to Horatio to tell everyone how King Hamlet died, and who killed him.
             Through out the play Horatios and Hamlets bond had grown stronger, they were always good friends but upon Hamlets death, Horatio acted as his brother. Horatio is the epitome of a confidant, he is there when u need him, and always ready to help. With out Horatio Hamlet might have never been able to do what was most deer to him, avenge his father's death.
