I think this question is in the wrong category, but I'll answer it anyway.

Claudius, in the play Hamlet, puts a poisoned pearl in a cup he plans on giving to Hamlet. He does this because he wants to kill Hamlet.

How do you play the roman boared game twelve lines?

The name od the game was Duodecim Scripta, which means "Twelve Lines." The board had 24 cases on 2 rows of 12 cases each. Two players sat across from each other and placed their 15 black or white pieces (presumably stacked) on the first square on their side of the board. They each tossed a set of three dice from a cup and moved their pieces according to the value of the throw. The pieces were like the lathed bone roundels. The pieces were distinguishable by the fact that they were often inscribed on the back with the owner's name or initials. The colours were bone-white, blue or black. Some red or yellow pieces have been found. The object was to get all your pieces across the board to the final square. If you landed on a square that had the opponent's piece on it, that piece would return square one.

What kind of utensil's did the medieval times use?

Medieval people used spoons and knives, but usually only used forks for cooking. The fact is, however, that they ate a lot of foods with their fingers, including foods we would not eat that way, like stew and soup. They often went without a bowl for the soup, spooning it instead onto a thick piece of stale bread used as a trencher. They took what soup they could off the bread with a spoon, and then ate the rest, soup and bread, together. Wealthy people had plates, many poor people did not and ate directly off the table. Cups and knives were considered common to the people at the table, so two or more people might share the same cup. There is a link below.

How does Gertrude die in Hamlet?

Gertrude accidentally drinks from the poisoned cup, which Polonius had intended for Hamlet to drink from during his duel with Laertes. (In some productions, Gertrude knows that the cup is poisoned and drinks it anyway, to atone for her involvement in her husband's murder, or to save her son's life, or both.)


How does Claudius kill King Hamlet and why?

Hamlet stabs Claudius with a poisoned sword, but only the tip is poisonous and it is dubious whether Laertes' poisoned tip cuts the king as King Claudius cries out for help claiming he is only hurt. Hamlet then holds him down and forces him to drink the last of the poisoned wine that had been intended for Hamlet, but his mother, the queen, drank it and died. Laertes says the king "is justly served; It is a poison temper'd by himself. [the king]" Implying Laertes' poison didn't kill Claudius, Claudius's poison killed himself, just as Laertes was slain by his own posion from the sword. So, Hamlet kills Claudius by making him drink a cup of poisoned wine that Claudius had intended for Hamlet.
