What important realizations that Laertes reach during the duel with Hamlet?

∙ 10y ago
Laertes didn't have any "important realisations" during his duel with Hamlet. The duel only took place as a means for Claudius to have Hamlet killed, disguised as Laertes' need to seek satisfaction for the deaths of his father and sister.
Laertes had forgiven Hamlet, but needed to uphold his reputation and honour, hence the duel.

Does hamlet kill himself?
He is stabbed by the tip of Laertes' poisoned rapier during their dual. Not necessarily... He is wounded by the rapier, but then stabs Laertes, and kills his uncle before he himself dies.
Does Claudius plan to have Hamlet killed in a duel with Laertes?
Laertes plans on killing Hamlet by challenging him to a duel. Laertes will have a sharper blade than needed, and this blade will have posion on it, so if Hamlet gets cut during the battle, he will die. If Laertes fails, King Claudius will posion Hamlet at dinner following the duel.
How many deaths occurred in Hamlet?
Hamlet single handedly kills three people: Polonius (Laertes' father) by accident, Laertes with a poisoned rapier (that was originally Laertes' at the beginning of the duel, they scuffle and accidentally switch rapiers), and the King (his uncle) by forcing him to finish the poisoned wine (the same wine that Hamlet's mother, the queen, accidentally drank. it was originally meant for hamlet to drink). You could say that Hamlet basically killed rosencrantz and guildenstern too. He sent them to England in place of himself, and the letter that Hamlet was supposed to deliver said, "kill the person that delivers this message," so, naturally, the two were killed by authorities in England. Hamlet betrayed them, so he's somewhat responsible for their deaths.
In Hamlet whom does Polonius send to France to spy on laertes?
Polonius expects Laertes, when he is in Paris, to spend his time in pubs, brothels and gambling dens. He sends Reynaldo to spy on him and observe all his faults, and presumably to report back to Polonius. Why does Polonius do this? Because he loves spying on people. We will see him use this technique on Hamlet later on.
How did prince Hamlet die?
I think in a duel with Ophelia's brother. But Ophelia's brother died too, because of a poisoned sword. Maybe i should start from the beginning. Ophelia's brother chalenged Hamlet. Hamlet's uncle saw this as an oppurtunity to get rid of Hamlet. So he got Ophelia's brother to put poison on his sword. And just un case that didn't kill him, Hamlet's father also put poison in Hamlet's drink. But then Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, tried to drink the poison in a toast to her son. Hamlet's uncle tries to stop her, but it's too late. Meanwhile, the swords are switched in battle. Ophelia's brother dies, but forgives Hamlet in his last moments. When Hamlet's mother dies, Hamlet's uncle is revealed to be the murderer. Hamlet challenges him to a duel. They both die.
Who tells Hamlet that Laertes has challenged him to a duel?
They both died, though Laertes died first. During the duel, Laertes cuts Hamlet with the sword that has poison on it, but when they accidently drop their swords they got mixed up and got each others sword. Hamlet then cuts Laertes with the sword that has poison on it.

List any one bit of advice Polonius gives to Hamlet?
Polonius never gives advice to Hamlet. He interacts with him four times: when he accosts Hamlet in the hall when he is reading (what do you read, my lord? words, words, words), when he comes to tell Hamlet that the players have come (Buz, buz) and during and after the First Player's speech about Hecuba, during the Mousetrap (I did enact Julius Caesar), and to tell Hamlet to see his mother (very like a whale). During these conversations Hamlet constantly has Polonius on his off foot, and Polonius would never have a chance to offer advice. He does, of course offer a lot of advice to his son Laertes, but nobody would confuse Laertes with Hamlet.
What are the three instances of spying that occur in act 2 or 3 of Hamlet?

Did Claudius died as a result of a deliberate plan of action by Hamlet?
Yes, in Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," Claudius dies as a result of a deliberate plan of action by Hamlet.

However, the final sequence of events leading to Claudius's death involves a combination of Hamlet's actions and circumstances beyond his control.
