Detailed explanation-1: -In response to Polonius’ warning, Ophelia obeys by saying, “I shall obey, my lord” (1.3. 136). In another instance, Ophelia agreed to become Polonius and Claudius’ spy; to spy on Hamlet and to determine his insanity. Her obedience to her father added to the destruction of her love relationship and her life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ophelia says that it was “something touching the Lord Hamlet” (I.ii.89). Polonius asks her about her relationship with Hamlet. She tells him that Hamlet claims to love her. Polonius sternly echoes Laertes’ advice and forbids Ophelia to associate with Hamlet anymore.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ophelia answers: Hamlet. After Polonius asks her to explain, she says that Hamlet has expressed his love for her. Polonius tells her that Hamlet is pretending to love her in order to sleep with her, and forbids her to talk to him. Ophelia promises to obey.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of Scene III, Ophelia agrees to “obey.” What will she do? She agrees to obey Polonius’ wish that she would stay away from Hamlet and reject his affections.
