At the end of the play, Fortinbras takes the throne. As he takes the throne, how does he seem to feel about and regard Hamlet?
Also, what does he say his finla rites will be, and why?

How do you think he feels? That portion of the play is mostly up to interpretation. He is a Prince who has been crusading around Europe trying to conqure his neighboring countries. Remember that there was a long standing rivalry between Denmark and Norway. So for Fortinbras to conqure his rival, it was a huge accomplishment.

I do love discussing Hamlet! It is my favorite play.
 
student101, you have been warned repeatedly about spamming the forum with your requests for answers to your homework assignments.
 
Also, you clearly haven't read the rules for asking help with homework. This is not a place where others will do your homework for you.
