Fortinbras can be considered as the antithesis of Hamlet. While the former is careful with the decisions he makes and actions he takes, Fortinbras is impulsive and highly determined to avenge the death of his father by any means possible.

For this reason, these liberal ideas were the ones that gave rise to the movements originated in the north of the nation, which sought the abolition of slavery based on the undeniable human condition of African Americans and their rights as human beings.
