Detailed explanation-1: -Laertes is the son of Polonius and the brother of Ophelia. In the final scene, he mortally stabs Hamlet with a poison-tipped sword to avenge the deaths of his father and sister, for which he blamed Hamlet. While dying of the same poison, he implicates King Claudius.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arriving at Ophelia’s funeral, Hamlet is faced by Laertes’ rage. Laertes justly blames Hamlet for the death of Polonius and the subsequent suicide of Ophelia.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Laertes finds his grief uncontrollable, and he runs out in a rage. Claudius and Gertrude follow him, ostensibly to quell his anger. Claudius struts for Laertes in this scene, but, if we believe what he says, he also demonstrates his ability to care.
