&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
King Norway is, well, the King of Norway, as one would expect.  The play dialogue makes reference to him, but he remains an offstage character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===ROLE===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Costume&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; - is irrelevant since King Norway does not appear on stage.  In the mind&amp;#039;s eye, we picture him costumed as befits a king.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Name===&lt;br /&gt;
King Norway is anonymous.  That is, his personal name is not used.  As the King, he is called by the country name, Norway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lines===&lt;br /&gt;
King Norway has no lines.  In Scene 7 the Danish ambassadors, upon their return from Norway, repeat some of what he said when he met with them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Themes and Motifs===&lt;br /&gt;
Most immediate for King Norway:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Revenge]], [[Money]], and [[Putting on a Show]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
King Norway wants &amp;#039;&amp;#039;revenge&amp;#039;&amp;#039; for the loss of Norwegian land to Denmark and the death of his brother, he promises Fortinbrase &amp;#039;&amp;#039;money,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and he &amp;#039;&amp;#039;puts on a show&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to deceive Denmark and the Danish ambassadors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===On Stage===&lt;br /&gt;
King Norway does not appear on stage.  He is mentioned in [[Scene 1]] ([[Scene 1#070]]), [[Scene 2]] ([[Scene 2#028]]), [[Scene 7]] ([[Scene 7#063]]), and [[Scene 15]] ([[Scene 15#015]]).&lt;br /&gt;
