Detailed explanation-1: -Fortinbras. The young Prince of Norway, whose father the king (also named Fortinbras) was killed by Hamlet’s father (also named Hamlet). Now Fortinbras wishes to attack Denmark to avenge his father’s honor, making him another foil for Prince Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Who is Young Fortinbras? Young Fortinbras is the son of Fortinbras, sometime King of Norway whom Old Hamlet killed in mortal combat on the day Hamlet was born. He is nephew to the present King of Norway, described in the play as impotent and bed-rid (I. 2.29).
Detailed explanation-4: -How was it that King Hamlet’s brother, Claudius, succeeded him to the throne when he died and not his son, Prince Hamlet? In Shakespeare’s time, the Danish monarch was elected by their Thing or parliament (it lasted about 500 years, finishing in 1660).
