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 warns Ophelia about Hamlet’s affections, and that loving him closely will end in heartache, as his intentions are not serious. It seems that Ophelia and Hamlet have had a seemingly private love affair, but one not physcially.
Detailed explanation-3: -Laertes does not think Ophelia should trust Hamlet’s declarations of love because his position as Prince of Denmark means he cannot actually make his own decisions. Laertes thinks if she takes his declarations of love to heart, her honour will be damaged.
Detailed explanation-4: -Synopsis: In Polonius’s chambers, Laertes says good-bye to his sister, Ophelia, and tells her not to trust Hamlet’s promises of love. Polonius joins them, sends Laertes off, then echoes Laertes’s warnings to Ophelia, finally ordering her not to see Hamlet again.
Detailed explanation-5: -Laertes, like many big brothers, is worried about his sister’s safety. In this case, he is concerned about Ophelia’s emotional well-being. He knows that Ophelia has received love letters from Hamlet and has fallen in love with him. He warns her not to take Hamlet’s advances too seriously.
