Detailed explanation-1: -As he lies dying, Laertes confesses the truth and reveals that it was Claudius ’s plot; this results in Hamlet killing Claudius. Laertes asks Hamlet for forgiveness, absolving him of his and his father’s deaths if Hamlet absolves him of his own. Hamlet does do, dying shortly after Laertes does.
Detailed explanation-2: -The queen moans that the cup must have been poisoned, calls out to Hamlet, and dies. Laertes tells Hamlet that he, too, has been slain, by his own poisoned sword, and that the king is to blame both for the poison on the sword and for the poison in the cup.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet asks Laertes to forgive his earlier acts of madness at Ophelia’s grave. He further claims that his madness, not he himself, is responsible for Polonius’ death, and he begs pardon for the crime. Laertes remains stiff and suspicious in his response, but says he bears Hamlet no grudge.
Detailed explanation-4: -Laertes reveals the murder plot to Hamlet and explains that the poisoned sword now rests in Hamlet’s hands.
Detailed explanation-5: -What is Laertes’ dying request of Hamlet? He asks for Hamlet’s forgiveness (and he tells Hamlet that he is not to blame for Polonius’ and Ophelia’s deaths.)
