Detailed explanation-1: -Laertes tells Hamlet that he, too, has been slain, by his own poisoned sword, and that the king is to blame both for the poison on the sword and for the poison in the cup. Hamlet, in a fury, runs Claudius through with the poisoned sword and forces him to drink down the rest of the poisoned wine.
Detailed explanation-2: -After Claudius tells Laertes that Hamlet killed Laertes’ father, Polonius, Laertes asks why Hamlet has not been punished for his actions. Claudius claims that he cannot act against Hamlet because Gertrude and the public love him too much.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: When Laertes hears about his father’s death he feels angry and hatred towards Hamlet, deciding that it is Hamlet who is to blame. Laertes is now determined to bring justice as he recognises ‘Revenge should have no bounds’.
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius claims that he is not responsible for Polonius’s death and says that Laertes’ desire for revenge is a credit to him, so long as he seeks revenge upon the proper person.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ultimately, King Claudius is directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of those in the play, as well as his own demise, resulting from his attempts to quell Hamlet’s rebellious attitude coupled with Hamlet’s deteriorating psyche.
