Detailed explanation-1: -Osric tells Hamlet that Laertes invites the Prince to duel with him. The King has wagered that Hamlet will win, and Osric is to return and report whether Hamlet will accept. He does. After Osric’s exit, a lord enters with instructions from the King to see if Hamlet wants more time before meeting Laertes.
Detailed explanation-2: -89. What news does Osric bring to Hamlet? He says that the duel has been arranged and that Claudius has bet on Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Whilst at sea, Hamlet sentenced Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to death. The King arranges a fencing match between Hamlet and Laertes. During the bout, Laertes scratches Hamlet with a poisoned sword and is in turn fatally wounded with it; Gertrude drinks from a poisoned cup, prepared by the King for Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-4: -A courtier named Osric arrives to tell Hamlet it’s time for his duel with Laertes. The court enters to watch the duel. Before they duel, Hamlet takes the opportunity to apologize to Laertes for his insane behavior, but Laertes wants to go through with the fight no matter what because his reputation is on the line.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
