Fortinbras’ uncle claims the throne of Norway just as Claudius took the throne in Denmark, and linked the common destiny between Young Fortinbras and Hamlet in their attempt for vengeance of their fathers’ deaths. Fortinbras’ and Hamlet contrast in their taking of action where Fortinbras’ acts immediately after reasoning, where Hamlet makes continual lackadaisical steps towards revenge. Although both equally sought vengeance, their motives contrasted. Hamlet wasn’t only troubled because his father had been murdered, but because his mother married his uncle Claudius, the murderer, just a few months following the death. This continuously haunted him because of their public displays of affection, which he found nauseating.
Heidy Guerrero Mr. Dorflinger English 9- Per.1 May 17, 2012 The Romantic Tragedy Of Romeo and Juliet In life, love is often forbidden due to certain circumstances such as gender, race, religion, and even one’s parents’ disapproval. In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, two unlucky young teenagers both belonging to enemy families, Capulet and Montague, fall into a forbidden love at first sight, and yet commit suicide to end the family’s feud. Shakespeare provides evidence in Act 1 that foreshadows the upcoming events, which are the death of Romeo and Juliet. In the Prologue, lines 5-7, the Chorus provides evidence that Romeo and Juliet will die in the end. The Chorus states, “A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventure piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.” This quote is an example of foreshadowing because it clearly states that Romeo and Juliet are going to die in the end.
There has never been a man as brilliant as he and no man who loved the theatre as much as he. As I recall, the days which actors visited Elsinore he became the good-humored and shrewd Prince whom we loved. His demeanor that day was not of a madman, but one who has a method to his madness. With his unparalleled mastery of words, our dear Prince confirmed the murderer on the throne. Only after this discovery did Hamlet fall beneath the weight of reality, but even through it all, he did not forget his loved ones.

But that is not the direction I would like to go.) In the play indications are made that Horatio has no other objective in mind than to support and help Hamlet. We get an example of this when he tries to counsel Hamlet to make rational choices, as demonstrated in the Act I, scene 4 by encouraging Hamlet to be skeptical of the visit of an
It is interesting that a story may contain two foiled characters existing in such a bleak contrast to each other and yet sharing similar events. In William Shakespeare’s tragic masterpiece of Hamlet, the foils are played by Hamlet and Laertes. Hamlet is the contemplative one, and would often think rather than act; Laertes is quite the contrary, having his inhibitions guide him to acting rather than thinking, the impulse buyer of Shakespearean literature. While these characters may differ significantly, their actions and reactions to the death of their fathers, their ultimate downfall, and their alternative methods of action and contemplation prove that while different, much of their character is parallel. The simplest comparison to make is
