Hamlet, Prince of Denmark • Paragraph 222
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

Fortinbrass comes in very naturally at the Close of this Play, and lays a very just Claim to the Throne of _Denmark_, as he had the dying Voice of the Prince. He in few Words gives a noble Character of _Hamlet_, and serves to carry off the deceased Hero from the Stage with the Honours due to his Birth and Merit.
