What tragedy by William Shakespeare involves a norwegian crown prince and a character named "Horatio"?
Fortinbras Fortinbras is either of two minor fictional characters from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet". The more notable is a Norwegian crown prince with a few brief scenes in the play, who delivers the final lines that represent a hopeful future for the monarchy of Denmark and its subjects. Fortinbras is also the name of the former king of Norway and father of the crown prince Fortinbras. King Fortinbras was slain in the play's antecedent action in battle with King Hamlet. The battle between the two is described by Horatio in Act One, Scene One (I,i) of the play.
Macduff's son Macduff's son is a character in William Shakespeare's tragedy "Macbeth" (1606). His name and age are not established in the text, however he is estimated to be 7–10 years of age, and is often named as Andrew, for ease. He follows Shakespeare's typical child character; cute and clever. While Lady Macduff and her children are mentioned in "Holinshed's Chronicle" as the innocent victims of Macbeth's cruelty, Shakespeare is completely responsible for developing Macduff's son as a character.
