They both have love for the same women, for laertes its his sister, and for hamlet it’s his girlfriend Ophelia. They both want to see her with a happy life and not with the wrong people, laertes doesn’t want her to marry hamlet because he’s starting to go crazy, hamlet doesn’t want her to be with her brother because he’s going to make her break up with him and then she wouldn’t be happy and neither of them want that.
They both are very honorable toward their family, friends, and in their work. They would rather die than have their families be mad at them. They have the most respect for their countries and would do anything to help protect it
They also hate each other and cannot stand to be around each other. They also want to get revenge for their fathers deaths and are very determined to do so and will go to great lengths, like hamlet got two of his friends killed so he could come back and kill his uncle.
And in the end they were both crazy for revenge they both ended up dieing while fencing with poison on the rapier (sword) and his mom, and uncle died.

Revenge is kind of crazy huh? It really makes people go insane. And once you start thinking about a lot of the angry feelings like jealousy and so on, it all relates to revenge. It's the root feeling.

They really do have a lot in common more then people would think they do just reading the book and not think about it
