Detailed explanation-1: -Fortinbras /ˈfɔːrtɪnbræs/ is either of two minor fictional characters from William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet. The more notable is a Norwegian crown prince with a few brief scenes in the play, who delivers the final lines that represent a hopeful future for the monarchy of Denmark and its subjects.
Detailed explanation-2: -In order to avenge his father’s death, Fortinbras invades Denmark and ends up taking the Danish crown for himself, thereby living up to his name, which means “strong-armed.” Fortinbras demonstrates how the son of a murdered king is supposed to behave.
Detailed explanation-3: -King Fortinbras of Norway challenged King Hamlet to one-to-one combat, was defeated, and forfeited his family lands.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gertrude: Queen of Denmark, wife of Claudius, and mother of Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-5: -1 Though much spoken about by other characters-and quite questionably-Fortinbras does not come on stage until Act 4, scene 4 (TLN2735), where he speaks some eight lines to order his captain to send greetings to Claudius and ask for “conveyance” for his march on Poland.
