Detailed explanation-1: -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. Hamlet, in his death throes, kills Claudius.
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: - Laertes will fence with Hamlet and wound him with a poisoned blade. If Laertes is unable to wound Hamlet, Claudius will offer him a cup of poisoned wine at a break during the fencing match. Laertes and Claudius say they are motivated by revenge because Hamlet killed Polonius.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -Why does Claudius tell Laertes he will not kill Hamlet himself? The Queen loves her son and since the king loves the Queen, he will not hurt her. The people love Hamlet too much and he would not “get away” with it.
