Detailed explanation-1: -He tells him it is weak and unmanly to wallow in this grief. He tells Hamlet to think of him as being a new father to him.

Detailed explanation-2: -The word “unmanly” first implies that Hamlet is acting more like a woman than a man in his “obstinate condolement” for his father’s death (line 97), meaning Hamlet’s emotions are excessive and weak.
