Enter The Hero! – I picked music that would be surging and dynamic to suggest a hero arriving... And that's what Fortinbras is! He's the real hero of the story... Hamlet is essentially that often-told tale of three princes... The first prince is all action, no thought – he rushes headlong into the danger and, unprepared, gets beaten. The second prince is all thought, no action – he spends too long deliberating when he should be acting and, hesitating, gets beaten. But the third prince, who is an imperfect balance between the two, learns from his mistakes and the mistakes of the other princes, and wins the day!

All-Action Prince is Laertes. All-Thought Prince is Hamlet. And Fortinbras is the Balanced Prince.
