For Hamlet, entrusting the task to Horatio declares his love better than expressing that love through any of Hamlet's poetry or philosophy. Hamlet trusts his friend enough to leave him the task of finding the words that will divine the truth. Horatio, I am dead Thou livest report me and my cause aright To the unsatisfied. Hamlet passionately demonstrates his own deep love and admiration for Horatio in his request that Horatio tell Hamlet's story. Horatio, I am dead Thou livest report me and my cause aright To the unsatisfied. Wretched queen, adieu You that look pale and tremble at this chance, That are but mutes or audience to this act, Had I but time-as this fell sergeant, death, Is strict in his arrest-O, I could tell you-But let it be.

If thou did'st ever hold me in thy heart, absent thee from felicity awhile, and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain, to tell my story. Heaven make thee free of it I follow thee. Horatio loves Hamlet so much that he would rather impale himself on his own sword than live on after Hamlet's death. This fell sergeant, death is strict in his arrest. He knows enough to value what ignorance he has that can protect him from political ruin, but neither ambition nor deceit determines his loyalties.

He can follow Hamlet's elaborate wordplays, but he is not inclined to engage in any. Thou livest report me and my cause aright To the unsatisfied. Alfred Prufrock," a poem in which the the title character, paralyzed by words and feelings protests, "I will not be Prince Hamlet.") Marcellus and Bernardo Marcellus and Barnardo admire Horatio's intellect enough to want his opinion about the ghost, but no one accuses Horatio of talking or thinking too much. Wretched queen, adieu You that look pale and tremble at this chance, That are but mutes or audience to this act, Had I but time - as this fell sergeant, death, Is strict in his arrest - O, I could tell you But let it be.

Eliot calls "the energy to murder and create" in "The Lovesong J. Horatio seems to accept the world as it is handed to him where Hamlet is driven by his impulse question all apparent truths. He is intelligent, but not driven by his intellectual creativity. Otherwise, Horatio supports every rash decision Hamlet makes. He only questions Hamlet's judgment once, when Hamlet confides the fates of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
