Detailed explanation-1: -On his way to England, Hamlet observes Fortinbras leading his troops through Denmark toward Poland. He questions a captain and learns that the Norwegians plan to wage war over a worthless patch of land in Poland.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet is disgusted. Alone, Hamlet examines the action of Fortinbras and compares it with his own. As when he compared himself with the actor ( Act II Scene 2 ) the comparison leaves him feeling ashamed. He resolves to have bloody thoughts from now on.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet compares himself to Fortinbras & realizes he cant do something as simple/small as getting revenge for his father. Hamlet has a great deal to gain from seeking his own bloody revenge on Claudius, and yet he still delays and fails to act toward his purpose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Explain. Fortinbras’ army is on the march to Poland to fight for some land. Hamlet thinks it’s lame to risk soldiers on a piece of land that seems insignificant, but he also admires and respects Fortinbras for going after what he wants. It reminds Hamlet of his own shortcoming in not avenging his father’s murder.
