 Hamlet Haven: Horatio
By analyzing the role of Horatio, this essay attempts to show that “Shakespeare had a much clearer and fuller conception of the part than is usually granted and that he developed the character with care and skill, though by extraordinarily minimal means, for a significant purpose” (57).
Horatio is also invested with the favorable qualities of learning, courage, loyalty, and candor; he appears as the “disinterested witness” (63), who speaks directly and “virtually compels trust” (64).
Although “Horatio is more stageworthy than ‘text worthy’” due to his frequently silent-yet-important presence as witness (67), Shakespeare “created the role, and with few but sure strokes of his theatrical brush, endowed it with complete credibility” (68).

 Horatio Hornblower - Memory Alpha
Horatio Hornblower was the title character of a popular series of novels and stories about the adventures of a 19th Century officer in His Majesty's Royal Navy, written by C.S. Forester in the mid-20th Century.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: An Interview With Jeremy Funke, Author and Director of 'A Counterfeit Presentment'
His theory was that the lead player was hired by Horatio to play the role of Hamlet’s father’s ghost, under the assumption that Hamlet would hear the ghost, kill Claudius, take the throne and take Horatio as his advisor, which is what he originally wanted.
JF: All of the characters that I took from Shakespeare more or less stayed the same, but it’s a smooth transition from my own vaguely Elizabethan lines written in verse to the lines that are clearly Shakespeare.
Suddenly, Horatio’s character made sense; if he is Hamlet’s half-brother, and he is a bastard son, then he can be jealous of Hamlet’s brother, which fit the story I had already written.

 Walter Horatio Pater Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The English author Walter Horatio Pater (1839-1894) was the most influential figure in the Esthetic movement of the late 19th century.
He directed critical attention to discrimination of the special and essential character of each work of art or artistic personality and to precise analysis of the effect each produces upon the individual.
The volume concluded with a postscript on the meaning of the terms "classical" and "romantic" which offered his well-known definition of the romantic character in art as the "addition of strangeness to beauty." His volume Plato and Platonism appeared in 1893.
