Hamlet: the Nature of Men
        In the Shakespearean play Hamlet, Hamlet, the tragic hero sandwich is a very well developed character. Shakespeare elucidates his strengths and weaknesses by tell them with those of Fortinbras, Laertes and Horatio. Whereas Fortinbras is heady, Hamlet is indecisive; whereas Laertes is excused for gambling, drinking and whoring, Hamlet condemns both vice; whereas Horatio exhibits balanced behavior, Hamlet is torn between manic disorder and reason. Through these contrasts Hamlet is able to grow and make wiser decisions, use these other men as examples of how, and how not, to act.
        Fortinbras is the prince of Norway. His father was killed in a battle with Hamlet Sr., which resulted in a loss of lands. Fortinbras is determined to regain his fathers lands.
...young Fortinbras,
Holding a weak supposal of our worth,
Or thinking by our late dear brothers decease
Our state to be disjoint and place of frame,
Colleagued with the dream of his advantage,
He hath not faild to pester us with message,
Importing the surrender of those lands
Lost by his father, with all bonds of law,
To our most valiant brother (1.2.17-25).
Fortinbras, sensing that with the death of the king Denmark would be disorganized, has demanded the surrender of the lands lost by his father. He is determined to regain his lands.
In contrast Hamlet, whos father was to a fault killed, and who also wants to avenge his father, sits idly by and watches the killer establish his fathers throne, unable to decide when or how to act against the killer.
Swounds, I should take it: for it cannot be
But I am pigeon-liverd and lack gall
To make oppression bitter, or ere this
I should have fatted all the region kites
With this slaves offal: bloody, bawdy baddie!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
