Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet is enraged by knowing that his mother has married his uncle Claudius after the decease of his father. Being piqued and vexed he is in that traumatic situation where he could not even kill her mother or harm her because of the feelings of love for her hence he says, “I’ll speak daggers to her, but use none".
Detailed explanation-2: -Rosencrantz and Guildenstern return to tell Hamlet that Claudius is furious and that Gertrude wishes to see Hamlet at once in her sitting room. Hamlet promises himself that he will not harm her, though he will “speak daggers.” Act 3, scene 3 Claudius orders Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to take Hamlet to England.

Detailed explanation-4: -References to daggers are made in several of Shakespeare’s plays including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
