From the moment that Laertes break into the throne room and the people are cheering for a revolt, Claudius uses Laertes as his puppet. Claudius begins his manipulation by using circular reasoning to confuse Laertes and then informs him that Claudius knows the real killer. After that, Laertes becomes Claudius pawn and Claudius uses him to enact his final plan to try and kill hamlet without any actual blood being spilled from his hands. Furthermore Ophelia’s untimely death actually helps Claudius because it enrages Laertes even more against Hamlet because his sister died because of Hamlets love. Worst of all, the king manipulates Laertes into thinking that he is Laertes friend when in reality he is only using Laertes to serve his diabolical scheme.
