Character (Hamlet vs the Laertes)
No two individuals are alike, regardless of similar upbringing. It is reasonable to assume that even twins brought up in exactly the same environment, sharing the same daily activities, and living practically the same life, will act differently when faced with the same situation. Each individual evolves with his or her own uniqueness, style, and way of life. The audience witnesses this phenomenon in Shakespeare's Hamlet and Laertes experienced similar childhoods and shared similar family attributes. They were both born into royalty. What differs between these characters is how they pursue revenge. Hamlet is indecisive about carrying out revenge while questioning his own existence while Laertes rushes to avenge his father without any hesitation.
