luis thoughts of Hamlet

I'm going to compare Hamlet and Fortinbras. Hamlet was a prince that his dad got killed by his uncle and fortinbras his dad got killed by Hamlet's dad. they both want revenge in common, but hamlet thinks a lot and fortinbras dosent he acts he dosen't really think about it. In one part in the book hamlet realices that he has to act this happend when he saw fortinbras army fighting for a small piece of land but Hamlet was going to England. Fortinbras wanted to take over ELSINORE so gertrude had it to marry hamlets uncle to save her kingdoom but Hamlet got mad because of that so he called his mom a whore and stuff.

    Luis,

    This seems like a good approach to take to the play--a 'compare and contrast' analysis that takes note of the differences in Hamlet's and Fortinbras' characters (and of how these differences speak to some larger message Shakespeare is trying to communicate through his play. Start by going back through the play and locating all of the references to Fortinbras (there aren't that many). Then use these to establish a 'foil' (a comparison) with which you can then establish how Hamlet does, or does not, 'measure up.'
