He has two plans to kill Hamlet.

First, he sends Hamlet to England with sealed orders to the King of England to execute Hamlet. That plan fails.

Second, Claudius arranges a Fencing match of Hamlet against Laertes, where Laertes has a poisoned foil, and Claudius has also poisoned Hamlet's wine. That plan succeeds in killing Hamlet, but Queen Gertrude, Laertes, and Claudius also die, with Claudius killed by his own poison.

What are the similarities and differences between the ghost in Hamlet and ghosts in other Shakespearean plays?

Only Hamlet hears it speak. Gertrude cannot see it, but Horatio and the guards can. Is it a real thing or is it a trick of the fog on the battlements, which Hamlet sees as the ghost and imagines speaking? Or maybe is it a bit of both?


What are the similarities between the hyenas in the Lion King and England in hamlet?

The hyenas in the Lion King resemble more the hangers-on Catesby, Ratcliffe and Lovell in Richard III than any characters in Hamlet, and the plot and structure of the film more closely resembles that of Richard III and Macbeth than Hamlet. Nevertheless one might view them as having some resemblance to the government of England, which is tasked with the job of killing Hamlet as the hyenas are tasked with killing Simba. However, the hyenas are hired more as private thugs than as a request from one sovereign to another--they resemble much more the murderers who are hired to kill Banquo and Fleance in Macbeth, and as in Macbeth the father dies but the son gets away. (In Hamlet the usurpation takes place while Hamlet is out of the country.)

What is something that William Shakespeare wrote that has lots of things in common with Macbeth?

Shakespeare's play Richard III has a lot in common with Macbeth. In both plays an ambitious relative kills his near relative and usurps the throne himself. The genuine heir flees the country but gathers together people unhappy with the tyrannical rule of the usurper, and mounts an invasion. As the invasion progresses, the usurper's supporters desert him, and he dies fighting all by himself. (This is also the plot of the Disney film The Lion King). Shakespeare's play Hamlet has some similarities to Macbeth, though not as many as Richard. In Hamlet, a supernatural agency reveals the truth about the past. In Macbeth, the supernatural agency tells about the future. Like Macbeth and Richard, a near relative murders the king and usurps the throne, but in Hamlet, unlike in the other two plays, the heir is not allowed to flee the country. In Hamlet, unlike the other two plays, there is no general opposition to the rule of the usurping king. As in Richard, the king is killed by the heir, but unlike both Richard and Macbeth, the heir is killed himself in the process. In Hamlet and Macbeth, though not in Richard, the heir is actually the son of the king who was murdered.
