Detailed explanation-1: -The King calls Hamlet and Laertes together and has them begin the duel by clasping hands. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why does Hamlet apologize to Laertes? Hamlet apologizes for his madness doing Laertes evil rather than himself being the one in the wrong. He blames his own madness. Laertes’ father’s death was an accident.
Detailed explanation-3: -[To Laertes] Give me your pardon, sir. I’ve done you wrong; But pardon’t as you are a gentleman.
Detailed explanation-4: -The court marches into the hall, and Hamlet asks Laertes for forgiveness, claiming that it was his madness, and not his own will, that murdered Polonius. Laertes says that he will not forgive Hamlet until an elder, an expert in the fine points of honor, has advised him in the matter.
