> Laertes is really the most iconic character in all of Hamlet. Everyone else in the play is effected by the toxic environment of Elsinore and compelled to put on masks and keep secrets and hide what they feel and Laertes is really just out there acting on whatever the first impulse that comes into his brain is. “Churlish priest my sister will be a ministering angel when you lay howling” “I would slit his throat in the church” honey you’re in front of people

He’s only that confident because he has his entire fan club backing him up
