2 parts to this question... To get rid of Hamlet, King Claudius first sends Hamlet to Englan along with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with a letter that requests putting Hamlet to death. This plan fails because Hamlet finds out and switches the letter resulting in the death of its carrier (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). When he comes back.. the King tries to get rid of him by 1. Putting poisin in his drink (but fails and Gertrude ends up drinking it). 2. Poisining Laertes' sowrd so he would kill Hamlet while fighting, and he succeeds. (But of course that happens after Hamlet finds out and kills the King)
