[edit] Q1 Names
With regard to some of the {cn}s on this page, check out footnote 1. AndyJones (talk) 14:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. They are partly there as a naide-memoire to meself. There's some good material in Arden that I'll probably include in due course. --ROGER DAVIES talk 14:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnardo, Francisco and Marcellus
I've not made this edit, bcause I see the comment: ===Barnardo and Francisco=== <!-- Please do not edit: used as a link -->. However it seems to me there are a few errors in this bit, most significantly that Francisco is absent when the sentries tell Horatio about the Ghost. "He is the first sees the ghost" (sic) of Marcellus strikes me as misleading too since, for all we know, Barnardo may have seen him first on previous occasions.
[edit] Barnardo, Francisco and Marcellus
Marcellus, Barnardo and Francisco are sentries at Elsinore. Francisco gives up his watch to Barnardo in the opening lines of the play, and it is Barnardo and Marcellus, who first alert Horatio to the appearance of King Hamlet's Ghost.[1] Marcellus is the most prominent of the three. [2] The role was played by Anthony Quayle in Olivier's version and by Jack Lemmon in Branagh's.
