How many deaths in the play result directly or indirectly from Hamlet's plot for revenge?

If we take it that Hamlet killed Polonius believing him to be the king, and therefore as a part of his plot for revenge, then Polonius's death, and indirectly Ophelia's arise from his act of revenge. Claudius of course dies from Hamlet's revenge. Gertrude, Laertes and Hamlet die as a result of Laertes and Claudius's plot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die just because Hamlet doesn't much like them.


Whom does hamlet get rid of first in the play?

Hamlet is directly responsible for the deaths of five people and indirectly for another. The first person to die because of Hamlet's actions is Polonius, who Hamlet stabs in the mistaken belief that he is King Claudius. This indirectly causes Ophelia's death. Hamlet then kills, in succession, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Claudius.
