“’Fortinbras’

‘Is that the son of Threetinbras ?’”

No, he’s the son of Old Fortinbras, who was killed by Old Hamlet, which compelled Young Fortinbras to invade, against the wishes of his uncle, the kingdom of Young Hamlet, who happened to be rebelling against his own uncle.

Hamlet and Fortinbras are, like, perfect foils for eachother. It’s almost as if someone wrote it that way.
