There are a number of possibilities:

1. Claudius is grooming Hamlet as a successor. He has named him as the heir, and wants to involve him in the affairs of state. Hamlet is thirty years old, and it's time he left school.

2. Claudius is giving in to Gertrude, who is the apple of his eye. Gertrude wants Hamlet around because she loves him, and Claudius is happy to oblige. You notice that he says "it is most retrograde to our desire" and that Gertrude adds her words to his.

3. Claudius wants Hamlet where he can see him. In this view, Claudius already suspects Hamlet of being a danger to his throne, and does not trust him to leave the country. It virtually puts Hamlet in "house arrest"

None of the above considerations apply to Laertes, which is why permission for Laertes to go to Paris is freely given.


The fact that the heir must plot his revenge from within the court is one of the special features which makes Hamlet different from other "revenge of the heir" stories such as Macbeth, Richard III, Richard II and The Lion King.
