Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius promises to arrange a fencing match between Laertes and Hamlet. 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.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The public would not take what Claudius would do in a good way so it would hurt his reputation and not hurt Hamlet. How does Claudius motivate Laertes to fight Hamlet? Claudius asks Leartes if he loved his father and if he was his father’s son.
Detailed explanation-4: -Laertes says he will poison the blade when he and Hamlet fence; Claudius says he will also offer Hamlet a poisoned drink to make sure their plan works.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
