A.agitation is the answer

Hamlet compares his feelings with the feelings of Fortinbras and his captain's. These two are on their way to war, and Hamlet still feels inactive because he has not yet been brave enough to kill Claudius, the king. Fortibras and his captain are to fight for a small island, which makes Hamlet see that honour is what counts. is the answer tot he question
