Hamlet is the philosopher and he will not avenge his father's death until he feels sure that Claudius is at the heart of the murder.  Fortinbras, on the other hand, is just trying to be king after the death of his father, and he just wants to do something to show that the loved his father but also will not lose any sleep when he has so many other things to do.
