Answer :

answer:Doesn’t the first scene begin with the guards agreeing that the ghost has been seen on the battlements two nights running? and summoning Horatio to prove it’s not their own fantasy but something that others can see? This would argue that Shakespeare means it to be seen as objectively real. Whether or not Hamlet is insane, I don’t think the ghost of his father is the test of it.
