Norwegian Captain
"Go, captain, from me greet the Danish king" (4.4.1),
says Fortinbras, as he marches across the stage on his way to Poland. To Hamlet, the Norwegian Captain expresses disgust with Fortinbras' objective,
"a little patch of ground / That hath in it no profit but the name" (4.4.18-19).
This is probably the Norwegian Captain's only speaking appearance. He may appear again with Fortinbras at the very end of the play.
