In Act 1 Scene 1 Shakespear introduces Hamlet in ghost form. Bernardo recognizes the ghost" In the same figure like the King that's dead" (I.i.48-50). King Hamlets ghost is dressed not just there, he is dressed in war gear "Usurp'st this time of night, together with that fair and warlike form" (I.i.54-55). These events are alluding to war. Hamlet asn't dressed in any ordinary war cloths, he was dressed in the out-fit he wore when he defeated Norway " such was the very armor he had on when he the ambitious Morway combated" (I.i.71-72).
