Detailed explanation-1: -What is the difference between Hamlet and Laertes? Both Hamlet and Laertesare impulsive characters, but Hamlet is more of a thinker while Laertes is more of a straightaway doer. Hamlet waits for the right time to come to seek vengeance while Laertes runs straightway with a sword to King Claudius.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet decided to kill Claudius only when he realizes that he is about to die and it is his only chance to revenge for his father’s murder. Laertes on the other hand acts with rage when he hears that his father is dead.
Detailed explanation-3: -Grief-stricken and outraged, Hamlet bursts upon the company, declaring in agonized fury his own love for Ophelia. He leaps into the grave and fights with Laertes, saying that “forty thousand brothers / Could not, with all their quantity of love, / make up my sum” (V.i.254–256).
Detailed explanation-4: -Laertes however goes at obtaining his revenge in a completely different way than Hamlet does. While Hamlet spent every moment planning every little thing to perfectly get away with killing his father’s murderer, Laertes gathers a band of soldiers and charge around accusing everyone someone says might have done it.
