Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius, though, eventually conspires with Laertes to kill Hamlet in a duel. Laertes places poison on his rapier, so even a small nick will kill Hamlet, and Claudius has a cup of poisoned wine to offer Hamlet if he wins the duel.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius’ plan is to stage a fencing bout between Hamlet and Laertes, in which Laertes’ sword will remain ‘accidentally’ sharp. Laertes loves this plan, and adds that he’ll put some poison on the sword, so that Hamlet will die, even if he’s only scratched.
Detailed explanation-3: -After sending some of his attendants to retrieve it, Claudius tells Hamlet that he’s being sent to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Once Hamlet leaves, Claudius reveals his true plan: as soon as Hamlet arrives in England, he’ll be put to death by the English court.
Detailed explanation-4: -How did King Hamlet Die? The ghost of King Hamlet tells Prince Hamlet that when he was taking his regular nap in his orchard, his brother, Claudius, poured a potion into his ear. The potion was leprous distilment, a poison.
Detailed explanation-5: -Laertes shares his own plan to dip his sword in a poison so lethal that a minor scratch will cause instant death. Claudius adds yet another safeguard: He will poison a goblet of wine for Hamlet to drink, so that even if Laertes fails to draw blood, Hamlet will die.
