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: -Laertes will use a sharpened sword rather than the customary dull fencing blade. Laertes also proposes to poison his sword, so that even a scratch from it will kill Hamlet.
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: -Hebenon (or hebona) is a botanical substance described in William Shakespeare’s tragic play Hamlet. The identity and nature of the poison has been a source of speculation for centuries.
Detailed explanation-5: -This is a classic example of dramatic irony, as the audience knows that the sword is poisoned, while the characters do not. The irony lies in the fact that Laertes intended to kill Hamlet, but instead he will die himself. This highlights the futility of revenge and the consequences that come with it.
