Strengths And Weaknesses Of Fortinbras
The character that has been chosen for this campaign was Fortinbras (the prince of Norway).
To portray the strengths of Fortinbras, the beginning of the video stated how he recruited men from the outskirts of Norway to join his army. The reason for this strength to be portrayed is because it shows how Fortinbras has the true qualities of a leader. He shows the true qualities of a leader because he has the ability to command an army which is not common with the other characters running for the campaign (Hamlet and Claudius). It also shows that Fortinbras is very ambitious in becoming a leader because he was motivated to recruit men and to lead them. After stating that Denmark is vulnerable to attacks from the surrounding countries, Fortinbras said in the video that no country will be able to conquer Denmark if he was in the position as king. This shows how much Fortinbras cares for

This shows Fortinbras as likeable because it shows that he would prefer peace within the country rather than violence. As a result, the people of Denmark and Norway will like him because he is benefiting both countries and no one is getting harmed from this action.
The issue that was presented in the advertisement was that Denmark is vulnerable to attacks from other countries if Denmark continues to run without a king. The reason why this was presented is because it evokes hidden fears in the target audience.

    To me this commercial is very successful in persuading its audience to vote for him as a nominee for Alabama’s agriculture commission, because he’s been a farmer, a business man, and a marine during the Vietnam War. Secondly, he is responsible and accountable for the state’s wealth, which is five billion dollars, and furthermore, if the citizens of Alabama don’t vote for him, they may be at risk for losing their farms.…

    The triumph of love over death and destruction is at once an inspiring and timeless theme. This theme is thoroughly examined in both Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns and Sarah Gruen’s Water for Elephants. Despite their subtle differences in writing style, both novels have protagonists who undergo similar experiences and have similar settings.…

    A council consisting of members of the all-powerful nobility chose a king. This choice had to be approved by representatives of the common people from the provinces throughout Denmark. The real power was the Council and kinds were only entrusted with the management of the state and the Royal Household. In fact, the King was actually crowned by the Councilors who all touched the crown as they said, “Your majesty, accept from us the Crown of this State…” [FN2] Laertes’ comments not only speak of a new political system, but also indicate that Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius [FN3] must have had the qualification that the Council want in order to win the election. Claudius first action of sending Cornelius and Voltemand to Norway clearly indicates some proficiency at foreign affairs, while his preparations for war show organizational skills and…

    Almereyda’s Hamlet is a completely modernized production of the play. For example, as opposed to Hamlet being the former king of Denmark, he is actually the “king”, or CEO of Denmark Corporation located in New York City. Instead of Elsinore being the castle, it is Elsinore Hotel. Hamlet (the “prince”) is an indie film producer, adding to the idea of a “movie within a movie.” His films are a good way to represent and reflect his thoughts during his speeches. When there are scenes in which the people of the court are present, such as during Claudius’ announcement of his marriage to Gertrude or the duel scene between Laertes and Hamlet, the scenes are set up as press conferences with photographers and reporters. Fortinbras is actually the nephew of another corporation, Norway, and the threat of his takeover is only slightly touched upon. Whereas the threat of a Nordic invasion adds to the tension of Shakespeare’s version, this element is for the most part absent from the movie.…

    Fortimbras’ roll in this play is too small that has only be talked about from other people’s words. However, we can still see the opposite characteristics between Hamlet and Fortinbras. Hamlet is aggressive without control while Fortinbras is aggressive with control. After Hamlet knows the murder of his father which has been committed by his uncle he determined to take revenge almost right away without any doubt. In the contrast, Fortinbra obeys his uncle’s order and swear not to invade Norway any more although he is aggressive and good at…

    When young Fortinbras was a boy, his father, former king of Norway, gets killed in a battle with King Hamlet, young Hamlet’s father, and loses Norwegian territory which by ended up part of Denmark since King Hamlet won the fight and killed King Fortinbras. Furthermore, young Fortinbras’s uncle, old Norway, takes over the throne instead of giving it to his nephew, young Fortinbras, just as Claudius who also crowns himself when King Hamlet dies. When the play opens, however, the responses of young Fortinbras and young Hamlet depart to completely different directions, which perhaps in masculine and feminine ways. Just as Horatio describes him “of unimproved mettle hot and full” (1.1.97-98), young Fortinbras never really get to know his father, but he blames King Hamlet for the death of King Fortinbras and immediately raises an army called “lawless resolutes” to reclaim Norway’s lost territories. On the other side, Hamlet chooses to stay away from his duties as the only price of Denmark and the successor to the crown. While Fortinbras is training his army and treats Denmark to reclaim their lands and avenge his father, Hamlet has done nothing but complaining about his fate and struggles to kill Claudius even he had a chance to do so. Just from how frightened Hamlet is from his opening phrase of the soliloquy in Nunnery…

In the film the first scene is everybody at king Hamlet’s funeral which the film added in this shows from the start that something is wrong with denmark cause we see the dead king instead of seeing a ghost we do not know who it is.The funeral was talked about in the book but no actual scene where they are at his funeral, the movie also takes out Fortinbras because we only see or here about him three times so the director sees no point in adding him,in the book Fortinbras becomes a major character by the ending but to be put in the book only twice seems pointless to include…

    Fortinbras father, King of Norway, was killed during battle for control of "a little patch of ground"(4.4, 19). Fortinbras' uncle claims the throne of Norway just as Hamlet's uncle takes the throne at Denmark. The deaths of Hamlet Sr. and Fortinbras Sr. directly link the common destiny of Fortinbras to that of Hamlet, to avenge the death of his father. It is because of this that the two young soldiers can be compared to each other. Fortinbras' taking action after his reasoning is contrasting to Hamlet's continual lackadaisical steps towards revenge. Hamlet realizes this and comtrasts himself to Fortinbras in his "How stand I then"(4.4, 59) speech and labels Fortinbras as a man of action and labels himself as a procrastinator whose words lead to no action. Hamlet calls him "a tender prince"(4.4, 51) after speaking with a captain in his army and hearing of Fortinbras' progress. It is inspiring to Hamlet and it pushes him forward in carrying out his plan to kill Claudius. Hamlet's last lines, "How all occasions…my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth!"(4.5, 34-69) say that Fortinbras has won him over from any further doubts and Hamlet, too, wishes to become a man of action who is ready to take his revenge at any cost.…

    Physician assisted suicide, is this an ethical procedure? Many feel strongly on both sides of this issue. Some states such as Washington and Oregon have made Physician assisted suicide legal. Other states such as Michigan and Massachusetts have put the issue to a vote and the voters have turned down the option. What exactly is physician assisted suicide? According to Dictionary.com, the definition is a situation in which a physician provides the means of death for a gravely ill patient .Dehal and Levy explain, “The Death With Dignity Act (DWDA) allows mentally competent, terminally ill patients who are over 18 years of age and residents of the state of Oregon to obtain a prescription for a lethal dosage of medication to end their own life in case their suffering becomes unbearable. Patients eligible for the act must make one written and two oral requests over a period of 15 days. The prescribing physician and a consulting physician have to confirm the diagnosis and the prognosis. If either doctor believes the patient's mental competence is impaired, he must be referred for a psychiatric or psychological evaluation. The prescribing physician is required to inform the patient of potential alternatives to PAS, such as comfort care, hospice care, and pain control.” The positives of Physician assisted suicide is that people who are at the end of their lives can forgo the incredible pain that can happen with many diseases. Health care cost can be reduced. Doctors and Nurses would have more time to save those who are going to live or those who wish to try to survive. Family and friends have a chance to say their good byes. Organs can be saved to help others. Patients feel they have a choice, and may not be forced to try other ways to diminish their pain. The negatives include that many feel physician assisted…

    When Claudius spoke and said, “ Holding a weak supposal of our worth, or thinking by our late dear brother’s death, our state to be disjoint and out of frame.” He was saying these things for the appeal of common sense. He knew since the death of his brother the people would come to a frantic state of being and would be in need of a king. He thought they would become weak and that would be reputation that they received, and you know, Claudius could never be seen as weak. Also, the people knew they were in need of another king because Norway would attack.…
