Holla Hamlet

1.What does Hamlet's calmness reflect about his character going into the duel with Laertes?
2.Why does Hamlet seek Laertes's forgiveness?
3.Why is Claudius so nonchalant about the death of the queen? ("It is the poisoned cup. It is too late. (5.2.319))
4.What does the fact that Fortinbras just claimed Denmark reflect about his characteristics as a ruler in comparison to Hamlet?
5. Why is Hamlet a hero in Fortinbras's eyes?
