Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet will use a fencing foil, but Laertes’ foil will have an unblunted point. Thus, Laertes can kill Hamlet in front of an audience, and it will appear to be an accident; no one will know it is murder. Laertes shares his own plan to dip his sword in a poison so lethal that a minor scratch will cause instant death.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Laertes says he would cut Hamlet’s throat even in the middle of a church. Laertes is hellbent on revenge-but so far he’s all talk, no action. Whether he is a man of action like Fortinbras or one of inaction, like Hamlet, remains to be seen.
Detailed explanation-4: -Laertes remarks under his breath that to wound Hamlet with the poisoned sword is almost against his conscience.
Detailed explanation-5: -A duel is arranged between Hamlet and Laertes. 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.
