... Hotspur and the opposing Vassals and when he deals with Hal at the royal court. Both Falstaff and the King live,to a great extent, by the sharpness of their minds: Falstaff as a criminal, and the King as a politician. Another similar facet of these two characters is their view of bravery. Both the King and Falstaff subscribe to the theory that it is better to avoid danger and thus avoid the possibility of harm than to take risks. Falstaff does this on several occasions,such as when he played dead during the battle to avoid injury. At this same battle, the King employed similar tactics, when he had many of his men disguised to look like him and thus him hard to find. It is in these wa ...

... numerous occasions when the brave and instinctive actions of this character reflect poorly upon the character of Hamlet. For example although we do not see Fortinbras’s initial reaction to his fathers death, we know that from the outset of the play he has already set out to avenge his fathers death. “...Now, sir, young Fortinbras, Hath in the skirts of Norway, here and there, Shark’d up a list of lawless resolutes,” This quote tells us that in this short period of time Fortinbras has formed an army of outlaws to launch an attack on Denmark “…to recover of us, by strong of hand……those foresaid lands so by his father lost”.
