Laertes refers to a
character in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. His name is taken from the
father of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey. Laertes is the child of Polonius and the
sibling of Ophelia. In the last scene, he executes Hamlet with a harmed sword
to vindicate the passings of his dad and sister, for which he pointed the
finger at Hamlet. While kicking the bucket of a similar harm, he embroils King
Claudius. The Laertes character is believed to be begun by Shakespeare, as
there is no identical character in any of the known hotspots for the play. </span>
