Detailed explanation-1: -Laertes. How came he dead? I’ll not be juggled with: To hell, allegiance!

Detailed explanation-2: -Laertes’s beliefs are spelled out in a startling rejection of everything we have seen holding Hamlet back from responding to the Ghost’s commandment (I. 5.102): To hell allegiance, vows, to the blackest devil, Conscience and grace to the profoundest pit!

Detailed explanation-3: -Laertes replies by wondering how his father could be dead and swearing that he will abandon the fear of damnation and avenge his father’s death “Let come what comes, only I’ll be revenged Most thoroughly for my father.” His desire to avenge Polonius is so great that he returns from Paris to Denmark to achieve his goal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet is in a state of shock and grief as he has discovered that his father has been murdered by his uncle. Throughout this soliloquy, which happens at the start of Act 3 Scene 1, he thinks about whether he should face life’s hardships head on or end them by dying.
