a duel between Laertes and Hamlet

The topic of the passage is a duel between Laertes and Hamlet.

The King Claudius has bet that Hamlet can beat Laertes in a duel. Hamlet has killed Polonius unintenionally, so Laertes is wiling to fight with him in order to avenge the death of his father. Meanwhile, it is a good opportunity for Claudius to eliminate Hamlet, who suspects he has murdered his father to become king and marry his mother.

How do symbols help to enhance plot, character, setting or theme?
iogann1982 [59]

Integral setting is when the action, character, or theme are influenced by the time and place, setting. Controlling setting controls characters. If you confine a character to a certain setting it defines the character. Characters, given these circumstances, in this time and place, behave in this way. I got this from some of my notes.
