Thank you!
"These are but wild and whirling words, my lord."
(Act 1, Scene 4)
Here, Horatio voices his skepticism and caution regarding Hamlet's seemingly wild plans. "What if it tempts you toward the flood, my lord, Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff / And there assume a shape to fright us so, / That we may tumble and lose ourselves to heaven / Or to the violent death."
(Act 1, Scene 4)
This quote shows Horatio's caution and concern for Hamlet's safety, warning against the potential dangers and madness associated with the ghost. "You must, my lord, obey the ghost; and I will go with you."
(Act 1, Scene 5) – This quote shows his unwavering loyalty to Hamlet and his commitment to his friend's cause, even when facing danger.

Shall he follow his fate with an apparition, How is he to know his kin is with him? Though this may be duty, is it true to me? This haunting resurrection What will be of him and I? I'll stand by him, man or servant. That is my oath to him; I shall abide.
Act 2 - Blindly abiding
