Detailed explanation-1: -Now knowing that Hamlet is still alive, Claudius offers Laertes an opportunity to show his love for Polonius by joining him in a plot to kill Hamlet by engaging in swordplay with him. Claudius promises to arrange a fencing match between Laertes and Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-2: -The king concocts a backup plan as well, proposing that if Hamlet succeeds in the duel, Claudius will offer him a poisoned cup of wine to drink from in celebration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Claudius is better at plotting than Laertes. After all, he has practice. Having decided on assassination, he also has a backup plan ready: he’ll poison a glass of wine, so that if Laertes doesn’t succeed in touching Hamlet with his sword, they can poison the prince another way.
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius and Laertes launch a poisonous plot. The king, furious that Hamlet is returning, convinces Laertes to duel Hamlet with a poisoned, sharpened sword. He also plans to offer Hamlet a poisoned drink if Laertes fails to kill him. Laertes agrees to Claudius’s plan, hoping to kill Hamlet in revenge.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
