Detailed explanation-1: -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. While dying of the same poison, he implicates King Claudius.
Detailed explanation-2: -In consequence, Claudius claims the friendship and alliance of Laertes; since both are animated by the same purpose of revenge. Laertes, however, cannot understand why the King, even when impelled by his own safety, did not vindicate the law against so capital an offence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Claudius is the brother of Old Hamlet and Hamlet’s uncle. After his brother’s death, he married Gertrude and became the King of Denmark and criticises Hamlet for being too upset over the death of his father. Claudius confesses that he murdered his own brother in order to get the crown and marry his wife.
Detailed explanation-4: -Laertes is a character in Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. He is the son of Polonius, chief aide and counsellor to the King.
Detailed explanation-5: -Claudius is the antagonist (the enemy of the main character) in the play Hamlet. Claudius is a morally weak villain who values power and material things more than he values others. He differs from other men in the play because he is cunning, lacks morals, and is manipulative.
