Fortinbras

               "Tell him that by his license Fortinbras Craves the conveyance of a promis'd march Over his kingdom" (IV.4.85)
                 The first glimpse we catch of Fortinbras. He seems more normal and less bloodthirsty than I had imagined him to be. He is sophisticated and courteous, not the savage barbarian I was given the impression he was. He is a good ambassador. Maybe he really won't attack the Danes.

                 "Go softly on." (IV.4.95)
                 He warns the captain because he wants to seem harmless. He doesn't want to give the impression that he is going to attack the Danes. I think that he is going to do it, just because of this command.


                  "Let us haste to hear it, and call the noblest to the audience.For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune. " (V.2.64)
                   It almost seems that he is sadly accepting his victory. I think that he is very similar to Hamlet in this respect. He truly misses his father, who he has memories of with in this land. He is also respect of the slaughter scene he stumbles upon.

                     "This quarry cries on havoc. O proud Death,what feast is toward in thine eternal cell that thou so many princes at a shot so bloodily hast struck. " (V.2.112)
                       This statement shows the human side of Fortinbras. He is not the conquering hero that a captain usually is. He seems sorry for the death of these princes that he has stumbled upon. But his revenge has been achieved, more than anyone else's
"Let four captainsBear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage; for he was likely, had he been put on, to have prov'd most royally; and for his passage the soldiers' music and the rites of war speak loudly for him. " (V.2.121)
