Marcus Claudius Marcellus, a Roman general and statesman, was reportedly poisoned through a deliberate act orchestrated by his political enemies. Historical accounts suggest that he was given a poisoned drink, possibly wine, while attending a banquet. This act was part of a broader political struggle during a tumultuous period in Roman history. The exact details of the poisoning remain somewhat unclear, but it is widely accepted that it was a calculated assassination.

How does Claudius kill King Hamlet and why?

Hamlet stabs Claudius with a poisoned sword, but only the tip is poisonous and it is dubious whether Laertes' poisoned tip cuts the king as King Claudius cries out for help claiming he is only hurt. Hamlet then holds him down and forces him to drink the last of the poisoned wine that had been intended for Hamlet, but his mother, the queen, drank it and died. Laertes says the king "is justly served; It is a poison temper'd by himself. [the king]" Implying Laertes' poison didn't kill Claudius, Claudius's poison killed himself, just as Laertes was slain by his own posion from the sword. So, Hamlet kills Claudius by making him drink a cup of poisoned wine that Claudius had intended for Hamlet.


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.
