1. Why does Claudius poison the wine? Who dies from drinking it?
Claudius poisons the wine to kill Hamlet. He is afraid that Hamlet will win the fencing match against Laertes, so he plans to poison Hamlet’s wine as a backup plan to protect his position as King of Denmark. Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother, dies from drinking the poisoned wine.

2. What do you think Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother would have done if she knew what Claudius was planning? How would the outcome be different?
If Gertrude knew Claudius’s plan to kill Hamlet with a poisoned sword and wine, she would stop him and tell the truth to Hamlet and Laertes, as she loved her son deeply.
The outcome would be different: Gertrude would survive, Hamlet would not be wounded, Claudius’s plan would be exposed and punished, Laertes would forgive Hamlet, and all the tragic deaths could be avoided.
