Detailed explanation-1: -She kills herself and Claudius and Laertes plot to murder Hamlet. Hamlet agrees to fight Laertes. During the duel, Gertrude drinks poison and both Hamlet and Laertes are fatally wounded. Hamlet kills Claudius before he dies.
Detailed explanation-2: -She wilfully disobeys Claudius by drinking the poisoned wine. She dies with cries of ‘the drink! the drink! I am poisoned’ (5.2. 264), and in so doing identifies Claudius as her killer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet first cuts Claudius with his rapier, then forces him to drink from the poisoned cup. Each of Claudius’ “deaths” represents different things to Hamlet. One death represents the death of King Hamlet, and the other represents the death of Hamlet’s id. As soon as Gertrude dies, Hamlet is able to kill Claudius.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gertrude dies on-stage, accidentally poisoned by Claudius. Laertes dies on-stage, stabbed by his own poisoned blade. Claudius dies on-stage, stabbed and poisoned by a vengeful Hamlet (the stabbing seems to be the fatal blow, since he dies immediately).
Detailed explanation-5: -Old Hamlet, the King of Denmark, is poisoned by his brother, Claudius. Claudius uses the poison for his own selfish ambition and marries Old Hamlet’s widow, Gertrude, making him the new King of Denmark.
