Detailed explanation-1: -Polonius sternly echoes Laertes’ advice and forbids Ophelia to associate with Hamlet anymore. He tells her that Hamlet has deceived her in swearing his love and that she should see through his false vows and rebuff his affections. Ophelia pledges to obey.
Detailed explanation-2: -He goes on to insult Ophelia and tells her to go to a nunnery. He tells her that this will be the best place for her and, by being a nun, Ophelia won’t have children and produce wicked men like his uncle. All through the scene Claudius and Polonius, Ophelia’s father, are hiding and watching what happens.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polonius launches into his own diatribe on the subject, saying that Hamlet is a red-blooded male who wants her for only one purpose and that she must spurn his advances. Ophelia promises to obey her father and break off her relationship with the Prince.
Detailed explanation-4: -What reasons do Laertes and Polonius give for their command to Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet? Are they reasonable? Laertes says that Hamlet’s infatuation can’t last, and he can’t marry her because of his royal status.
