Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet and Fortinbras are alike because both share their father’s name, both have lost their father, and both must seek revenge for the patriarch. What differs is that Fortinbras is quick in his decision and gets things done.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet (prince of Denmark) can be greatly compared to Laertes (son of a noble), and Fortinbras (prince of Norway) in the play. They all are very similar but yet different at the same time. They all had love and respect for their fathers and felt the need to avenge their deaths, which all were brutally killed.
Detailed explanation-3: -How does Hamlet’s encounter with Fortinbras in Act IV help Hamlet to avenge his father’s death? Hamlet decides that he would like to be as free of conflict as Fortinbras is. Fortinbras agrees to support Hamlet in his effort to become King of Denmark.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
