Paper Summary:

The paper compares and contrasts Hamlet and Laertes, both in terms of their sense of honor and their relationships with their fathers.

From the Paper:

"In his play "Hamlet" William Shakespeare focuses closely on the subject of revenge, particularly the avenging of murder. Indeed, the characters of Hamlet and Laertes both face the task of exacting revenge for the wrongful death of their respective fathers. Yet despite their similar circumstances, Shakespeare makes it clear that Hamlet and Laertes are very different characters. While Laertes is decisive and reacts quickly to news of his father's death, Hamlet ruminates for much of the play over his plan for revenge against his father's murderer."
