Detailed explanation-1: -The queen drinks the poisoned wine as Laertes and Hamlet fight. Laertes slashes Hamlet with the poisoned blade, but the two switch weapons in a scuffle. Hamlet cuts Laertes with the poisoned blade in turn just before Gertrude collapses. Realizing the plot, Hamlet stabs and kills Claudius.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the match, Claudius conspires with Laertes to kill Hamlet. They plan that Hamlet will die either on a poisoned rapier or with poisoned wine. The plans go awry when Gertrude unwittingly drinks from the poisoned cup and dies. Then both Laertes and Hamlet are wounded by the poisoned blade, and Laertes dies.
Detailed explanation-3: -The two fight again and Laertes wounds Hamlet with the poisoned tip. Both drop their swords and, in the scuffle, Hamlet grabs Laertes’ sword and Laertes picks up Hamlet’s.
Detailed explanation-4: -When Claudius offers Hamlet the poisoned goblet of wine, Hamlet refuses, and Gertrude picks up the cup instead. Toasting Hamlet, she drinks the poison, ensuring her eventual death. Meanwhile, Laertes wounds Hamlet with the poisoned blade, and the two continue to scuffle, somehow switching swords in the process.
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.
