Claudius sends Hamlet to England. Polonius's son Laertes comes from France to revenge his father. Claudius tells him that Hamlet had killed Polonius. Hamlet doesn't get to England because of pirates, and returns to Denmark. Claudius and Laertes set up a Fencing match where Hamlet is to be murdered by an unbuttoned poisoned sword and a poisoned cup of wine. Hamlet gets cut by the poisoned sword but so does Laertes, and Hamlet's mother drinks the poisoned wine. Before he dies, Hamlet stabs and poisons Claudius to death.

Why does Hamlet rage against his mother?

Because she married the brother of her very recently dead husband. Her first husband was both the previous king and Hamlet's father. Hamlet eventually learns that his uncle, now his stepfather and the new King of Denmark, murdered his father in order to steal both his wife and his crown. Hamlet makes many bitter comments about the 'incestuous' marriage bed and the unseemly haste with which his mother, Gertrude, married her husband's brother. When he is convinced that his uncle actually did murder his father, at first doubting his own sanity after seeing and speaking with his father's ghost, Hamlet kills his uncle. Gertrude, who had no part in her first husband's murder, is slain by accident, and Hamlet himself is murdered during the climactic final scenes.
