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: -It’s obvious that Ophelia fancies Hamlet’s romantic advances on her, but Polonius doesn’t care for her independent thinking. He ridicules her calling her a “green girl” a “baby” for thinking that Hamlet’s offers of affection are real (Act I, scene 3, 101-105).
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Laertes is headed to France, and he bids farewell to his sister, Ophelia. He has some brotherly advice for her: don’t trust Hamlet, or his confessions of love.
