Question:

Shakespere's Hamlet?

We are reading Hamlet in English class and the question is: Is there any kind of parallel structure? I do not know if he means sub-plots or between characters. Any insight to that would be appreciated. I am answering between characters. I see parallels between Hamlet/Font. and Hamlet/Ophelia. Does anyone see anymore parallels?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The are many parallels, for example Laertes and Fortinbras to Hamlet. Each seeks revenge for a death of a father, as Hamlet does. Also, Hamlet's pretended madness is contrasted with the true madness of Ophelia....
