Laertes took part in the lies and deceit when he found it was Hamlet who had killed his father. He and Claudius teamed up and made a treacherous plan to kill Hamlet. They told him it was only a fencing match. Claudius even bet for Hamlet to win. They tricked him by using a real sword and put poison on the tip. If that didn’t work they had a devious back up plan.

Women who were loved by their families and also in a way killed by their families. None of the deviousness was worth
