Detailed explanation-1: -Because she is dying. Claudius says she is swooning at the sight of blood. What does Laertes mean by “as a woodcock to mine own springe"? Like a mouse caught in his own mousetrap.
Detailed explanation-2: -To ensure Hamlet’s death, Claudius also has a poisoned cup of wine should Hamlet win the duel. Claudius does not intervene when Gertrude drinks the poisoned cup of wine because he does not want to give himself away.
Detailed explanation-3: -She wilfully disobeys Claudius by drinking the poisoned wine. She dies with cries of ‘the drink! the drink! I am poisoned’ (5.2.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet, in a fury, runs Claudius through with the poisoned sword and forces him to drink down the rest of the poisoned wine. Claudius dies crying out for help.
Detailed explanation-5: -Laertes and Hamlet fence for a moment until Hamlet asks for a judgment call from Osric the referee. Osric proclaims a hit in Hamlet’s favor, and Claudius holds up Hamlet’s goblet and takes a drink. With high pomp, Claudius drops a pearl, his gift to Hamlet, into the wine.
