It was rather straight forward, as opposed to the manipulations of other villians. Besides, Laertes was pissed at Hamlet to start with, before the Weird Sister and his wife MacBeth was loyal to the king.
Basicly what I'm saying is Claudius is one of the less impresive villians in Billy's stable.
Now, is Brutus a villian in Juilies Ceaser or the Hero? I say hero but he did kill the title character.
