Claudius and Laertes plan to arrange a duel between Hamlet and Laertes. Although they are both accomplished swordsmen, Claudius suggests that Laertes be given a sharp sword while Hamlet’s remains blunt. Laertes adds that he will dip his sword in poison to insure Hamlet's death. Claudius also plans to give Hamlet a poisoned cup during the duel.
