Who are Hamlet and Laertes?

In the tragic play by Shakespeare, Hamlet is the main character. After seeing the ghost of his late father, Hamlet wishes to avenge his death, but he is not quick to act. He feigns madness to justify his new behavior, but fails to avenge his father in the end. Hamlet escapes captivity, kills Polonius in the process and also destroys Ophelia's life, even though he claims to love her.

Laertes is Ophelia's brother and Polonius's son. He too wants to avenge his father's death, which is why he kills Hamlet. Unlike the latter, Laertes is quick to act. He does not feign madness, nor does he have to escape captivity. He also loves his sister.

With the information above in mind, we can select options 3 and 5 as the ones that show how Hamlet and Laertes are alike.
