Detailed explanation-1: -What is significant about the fact that Fortinbras delivers the last line of the play? In Shakespearean tragedy, the character who speaks the last lines is the character who will restore the shaken society to order.
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: -Fortinbras orders that Hamlet be given military honors, “with music and rite of war.” He orders his soldiers to carry the bodies out, and the play ends.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fortinbras is dutiful, respectful to his parents and determined to serve the royal course as demonstrated by his willingness to fight for Norway and readiness to avenge the deaths of his father. This willingness and readiness Hamlet admires and would be the reason for his decision of appointing him to be his successor.
