Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is about a young prince's dilemma in wanting to avenge the death of his father, King Hamlet, and the betrayal of his mother and uncle. The drama revolves around themes of love, gender, appearance vs. reality, good vs. evil, power, greed, etc.

Laertes is the son of Polonius and the brother of Ophelia. He is impulsive and irrational, acting quickly without any thought and wanting to protect his sister from the 'insane' Hamlet. Throughout the play, Laertes is depicted as an impulsive, irrational, passionate character.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
