Not the last as apostrophes are not used for plurals, and the second sounds strange, so i believe it is the first.
The King and Prince Fortinbras serve as foils to the play's protagonist Prince Hamlet and his father, King Hamlet. King Hamlet only appears as a ghost, to confirm that something is wrong and needs to be corrected. We don't meet King Fortinbras anywhere in the play, and even Prince Fortinbras only appears briefly, as a winner and conqueror of Denmark, once its own Hamlet dynasty is finally dead. Even though both fathers are dead, there are significant differences between the two of them: King Hamlet's soul still wanders the earth, seeking vengeance. On the other hand, King Fortinbras was killed, but his soul doesn't roam and haunt young Fortinbras. Unlike his counterpart, passive and contemplative Hamlet, Prince Fortinbras exactly knows what is to be done, so he takes action and reclaims the lost territory, achieving his and his father's political goal. The Hamlets are poisoned by their family issues. King Hamlet's death isn't a natural death of a monarch. He was killed by his own brother, who then married his wife and took the throne. So, this family conflict needs to be resolved, even at the political price (the end of the dynasty and loss of Denmark to Norway).

Explanation:
It is one of those experiences that Ben Okri survived through, which mostly reflected in his works. Okri's version of a narrator who is trying to look out for people that matter to him and his surrounded beings, whether alive or dead, is the most hear-wrenching works that readers can read. The kind of expression, symbolism and prediction used by Okri to describe situations and attitudes of people makes us understand that this is a part of the world that we must always try to avoid and try to opt for peace.
The line from the passage, <u><em>"The only people who weren't dead were the dead.</em></u><u><em>" - clearly states the theme </em></u>where we must understand that after looking at the bodies of his family members, trying search for them and pour dust on their bodies laying in the sand with pieces of food in tehir hands is the most miserable thing a man can ever experience.
