Detailed explanation-1: -Polonius is a counsellor to the new king and queen. He is Ophelia and Laertes’ father. Laertes is the only son of Polonius and brother of Ophelia. He leaves Denmark to study in Paris.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ophelia (/əˈfiːliə/) is a character in William Shakespeare’s drama Hamlet (1599–1601). She is a young noblewoman of Denmark, the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes and potential wife of Prince Hamlet, who, due to Hamlet’s actions, ends up in a state of madness that ultimately leads to her drowning.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
