His first plan is to send Hamlet off to England along with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. R & G will have orders to have the English execute Hamlet. That doesn't work out, however, so Claudius then proposes to make use of Laertes's desire to avenge his father's death, and have Laertes kill Hamlet. Or if that doesn't work out, Claudius proposes to poison Hamlet.

Why do you think king claudiious points laertes in Hamlets direction?
Because by that point King Claudius knows that Hamlet knows the truth about king Hamlet's death, so he tries to get rid of Hamlet using Laertes.
Whom does hamlet get rid of first in the play?
Hamlet is directly responsible for the deaths of five people and indirectly for another. The first person to die because of Hamlet's actions is Polonius, who Hamlet stabs in the mistaken belief that he is King Claudius. This indirectly causes Ophelia's death. Hamlet then kills, in succession, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Claudius.
What decision does the Claudius make after observing hamlet and ophelia?
He wants to get rid of him.
Would the king rather have Hamlet stay at Elsinore or return to Wittenberg?
Well, I must first of all say that my statement is of my own interpretation of the story. However, it may be possible that Claudius was planning on killing off Hamlet (or at least spy on him) from the very beginning. By looking at Claudius's personality, namely his willingness to kill for power, it can be implied that Claudius is fearful of loosing his power in the same way. Of all that may pose a threat to Claudius, Hamlet seems to be the most likely threat as he is in direct line to the throne (after all why not kill off the king and become the new king a little ahead of schedule?). So due to Claudius's paranoid nature, it may be possible that he intended to keep Hamlet in Elsinore so that he could plot to get rid of him.
What is Claudius' response when Gertrude tells him Hamlet has murdered Polonius?
Hamlet doubts the ghost's statement that Claudius had murdered him--the ghost could be lying. He re-enacts the murder in a play and has it performed in front of Claudius. Sure enough, it causes an attack of conscience in Claudius.

What does Claudius arrange to happen to Hamlet when he arrives in England?
2 parts to this question... To get rid of Hamlet, King Claudius first sends Hamlet to Englan along with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with a letter that requests putting Hamlet to death. This plan fails because Hamlet finds out and switches the letter resulting in the death of its carrier (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). When he comes back.. the King tries to get rid of him by 1. Putting poisin in his drink (but fails and Gertrude ends up drinking it). 2. Poisining Laertes' sowrd so he would kill Hamlet while fighting, and he succeeds. (But of course that happens after Hamlet finds out and kills the King)

What are the plots of Macbeth and Hamlet?
In Macbeth, the king's cousin gets talked into killing the king by his wife, who is all excited about some prophecies made by some witches that Macbeth would be king at some future time. The king's son gets blamed for the murder and runs away. However, being king and queen does not make either of the Macbeths happy and in fact turns Macbeth into a paranoid mass-murderer whom everyone abandons as the kingdom falls into ruin. The son of the king then leaves his life of hakuna matata and returns to claim the throne.In Hamlet, Hamlet, the son of the late king of the same name is told by the ghost of his father that his uncle and stepfather Claudius obtained the throne by murder. Hamlet, who is forced to remain in his uncle's court while trying to plot his revenge, tests the ghost's statement by staging a play very similar to the murder, which confirms the king's guilt but also tips the king off to what Hamlet knows. Hamlet kills the king's counsellor, believing him to be the king, which estranges Hamlet from his girlfriend Ophelia, daughter of the counsellor. The king tries to get rid of Hamlet by sending him to England to be killed, but Hamlet never gets to England and returns. His girlfriend has meanwhile gone insane and died. Hamlet gets into a fight with Ophelia's brother, who has plotted with the king to kill Hamlet, but everything goes horribly wrong and Ophelia's brother dies, Hamlet's mother is accidentally poisoned, Hamlet is fatally wounded and kills the king before he dies.
What does Hamlet mean when he calls Rosencrantz a sponge?
Hamlet calls Rosencrantz a "sponge" because he always does as Cladius pleases. He obeys him no matter what. He has no thoughts of his own--he just sucks up the thoughts and plans of the king and they come out when he is squeezed. Hamlet says that like a sponge once Claudius is done with him, he will get rid of him.
Why was Hamlet banished?
The main reason is that he kills Polonius and generally acts crazy. It is also likely that the king is also trying to get rid of him for his own purposes. When Hamlet stages his play "The Mousetrap" he reveals that he knows about the king killing Hamlet's father. Claudius banishes him to England (with a letter asking the English to execute him) so that he doesn't have to kill Hamlet in Denmark, where he is very popular.

Yes. Simba (Hamlet) is the son of Mufasa (King Hamlet,) who was killed by his brother, Scar (Claudius) Simba, in the end, gets rid of scar and becomes king (in the play, Hamlet killed his uncle, and also died himself. (The Lion King is a Disney movie, and that would be a horrible ending for a Disney movie).A list of Lion King-Hamlet character allusions: Sarabi (Gertrude), Timon & Pumbaa (Rosencrantz and Guilderstern), and Nala (Ophelia). Zazu is possibly representative of Polonius, and the hyenas could be Laertes though it is here that the Shakespeare allusions become more ambiguous.

What steps does Claudius take to rid himself of hamlet?
Hamlet decides to kill Claudius, but first he needs to confirm that what the ghost of his father said was true. So, he devises the play to see if Claudius' guilty conscience will betray him. His suspicion confirmed, he almost murders him him the chapel, but when he sees that Claudius is praying, Hamlet spares him until he can kill Claudius at such a time that it will condemn his soul. The irony is: we learn in soliloquy that Claudius is not able to pray.
Why did Henry the iii get rid of the monestrys?
King Henry III like all of Europe at the time followed the Catholic religion so he did not get 'rid of the monastaries' .... I presume you mean King Henry VIII who, following his quarrel with the Pope in the 16th century dissolved the monastaries in England and gained all their riches for himself!
