Answer:OK. It's the fencing match. And I think it's actually a two-point plan.

Explanation:

First of all, Laertes once to cut Hamlet's throat in the church, but Claudius persuades him there's a better way. To somehow rig the fencing match so that Hamlet ends up dead. Laertes agrees:

I will do't!

And for that purpose I'll anoint my sword.

I bought an unction of a mountebank,

So mortal that but dip a knife in it,

Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare,

Collected from all simples that have virtue

Under the moon, can save the thing from death

This is but scratch'd withal. I'll touch my point

With this contagion, that, if I gall him slightly,

It may be death.

So, the poison on the rapier will kill Hamlet. But Claudius organises a back up plan:

Therefore this project

Should have a back or second, that might hold

If this did blast in proof. Soft! let me see.

We'll make a solemn wager on your cunnings—

I ha't!

When in your motion you are hot and dry—

As make your bouts more violent to that end—

And that he calls for drink, I'll have prepared him

A chalice for the nonce; whereon but sipping,

If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck,

Our purpose may hold there.

Claudius will put poison into a chalice, and offer it to Hamlet as a toast, if the rapier plan fails to work. So it's a two-point plan for killing him off.

Hope it helps!

Answer: A duel is arranged between Hamlet and Laertes. During the match, Claudius conspires with Laertes to kill Hamlet. They plan that Hamlet will die either on a poisoned rapier or with poisoned wine. The plans go awry when Gertrude unwittingly drinks from the poisoned cup and dies.

How the environment affect how we are, how other see us, and what we do?
AnnyKZ [126]

The environment plays a major role in several things such as who we are and how others see us. As defined in Merriam-Webster for the word environment, "the circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded." This goes to prove that our environment is not only comprised of what is outside in nature, but also everything from the contents of our living room to the clear, blue skies. I believe that our environment affects what we do majorly. For example, when somebody is locked inside a prison, their environment is very harsh, cold, and dark. This changes their mental attitude, and often leads to something such as depression.
