What is a good quote spoken by Fortinbras comparing himself to Hamlet?

  • i need a quote for a paper im writing and i cant think on one that is comparing Hamlet and Fortinbras. Please help!!

  • Answer:

    The two are very similar. Both think highly of each other. In his soliloquy in Act IV Hamlet calls Fortinbras "a delicate and tender prince" who has more courage to act than he, Hamlet, does, who has more motivation: Examples gross as earth exhort me: Witness this army of such mass and charge Led by a delicate and tender prince, Whose spirit with divine ambition puff'd Makes mouths at the invisible event, Exposing what is mortal and unsure To all that fortune, death and danger dare, Even for an egg-shell. And just as he is about to take over Denmark, as Hamlet, dying, sees is going to happen, Fortinbras says: Bear Hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage; For he was likely, had he been put on, To have proved most royally: and, for his passage, The soldiers' music and the rites of war Speak loudly for him. Moreover, just as Hamlet admired his warrior father so Fortinbras is continuing in the tradition of his own warrior father.
