Hamlet In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, two of the character's fathers are brutally murdered.

Hamlet and Laertes share a diverse but deep love and apprehension for Ophelia. Before his departure for France, Laertes gives long instructions to Ophelia concerning her bond with Hamlet. Laertes expresses his concern about Hamlet's true intentions towards Ophelia and advises him to be wary of Hamlet's love.

Hamlet and Laertes contribute many characteristics that make them similar. References Bullough, Geoffrey, ed. Shakespeare's Narrative and Dramatic Sources, Vol VII.
