Based on the portrayal of the play in this novel, how are Hamnet and his father, and Hamlet (the character) and his father related to one another? Do you feel the correlation is one-to-one (son/son, father/father), or is there a crossing among them?

I wish I could answer this question! But I have never been a reader of Shakespeare’s plays; I only know loosely what they are about. So I don’t have enough knowledge to give this question a good answer.

In both cases, from what I recollect, the sons idolize their loving fathers from a distance. In Hamnet’s case this father-son bond ends with the death of the son while in Hamlet’s case, it ends with the death of the father. Hamnet, however, assumes the role of family protector with less hesitancy.
