Hamlet Reading 11


Hamlet can relate to his new enemy, Laertes, in various aspects. He loves Ophelia as well as him, and both of their parents got murdered. Hamlet's determination for obtaining what he wants is also shown in Laertes. Specifically when they are both in Ophelia's grave and are fighting for her love even though she is dead. The dead king's son confesses that he sees "the image of [his] cause" and his "portraiture" in Laertes (5.2.87-88).
