Character sketches

Ok ... no just click and paste here...

Fortinbras Character Sketch
Fortinbras is the current prince of Norway who is very power hungry and one who acts in violence before thinking. He is compared to Hamlet in the fact that he lost his father (who was king of Norway) and is not given the throne. Fortinbras doesn’t react the same way Hamlet does and begins a war with everyone he can take over. At first he seems loyal to his uncle and listens when he is told to not attack Denmark, but he is also an impatient man and eventually gets tired of doing nothing over his father’s death. He takes over Denmark, becomes king and gets what he wanted from the start.
