Can someone please help me answer this question from the play Hamlet?

As I'm sure you know, Laertes and Fortinbras are both sons whose fathers have been killed. (Hamlet kills Polonius, Laertes' father, during the play. Hamlet's father killed Fortinbras' father before the start of the play.) Hamlet is also a son whose father has been killed. When you're contrasting the other two young men to Hamlet, you can start by looking at how they respond to their fathers' deaths vs. how Hamlet responds to the murder of his father.
