1. Marcellus - asks why there is a strict schedule of guards has been imposed

- bronze cannons manufactured = Denmark

-weapons = bought abroad

- shipbuilders = busy = don't rest on sunday

- late king = rival of Fortinbras, king of Norway

- Hamlet = killed old king Fortinbras = surrendered all his territories, and his life to his conqueror

- Fortinbras's son = bold, unproven, gathered thugs from lawless outskirts of country

- ghost is something to worry about

2. Before my God, I might not this believe without the sensible and true avouch of mine own eyes.
