Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius’ plan is to stage a fencing bout between Hamlet and Laertes, in which Laertes’ sword will remain ‘accidentally’ sharp. Laertes loves this plan, and adds that he’ll put some poison on the sword, so that Hamlet will die, even if he’s only scratched.
Detailed explanation-3: -After sending some of his attendants to retrieve it, Claudius tells Hamlet that he’s being sent to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Once Hamlet leaves, Claudius reveals his true plan: as soon as Hamlet arrives in England, he’ll be put to death by the English court.
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius tells Laertes that if he truly still loves his father-and still wants to avenge him-he must “show [him]self in deed [to be his] father’s son, ” not just in words. Laertes says he would cut Hamlet’s throat even in the middle of a church.
