Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet, Laertes tells Ophelia, is of a higher rank than she and cannot choose with whom he will spend his life. To protect her heart and to safeguard her honor, Laertes asserts that Ophelia should reject Prince Hamlet before he deflowers her.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Claudius tells Laertes that if he truly still loves his father-and still wants to avenge him-he must “show [him]self in deed [to be his] father’s son, ” not just in words. Laertes says he would cut Hamlet’s throat even in the middle of a church. Laertes is hellbent on revenge-but so far he’s all talk, no action.
Detailed explanation-4: -Laertes expresses his desire to return to France, where he was staying before his return to Denmark for Claudius’s coronation. Polonius gives his son permission, and Claudius jovially grants Laertes his consent as well.
