The scene starts off with Ophelia and Laertes. Laertes is bidding goodbye to and telling us how she hopes that Ophelia will write to her, Ophelia then questions why she doubt that she will write, her question however is completely blanked and Laertes than talks about Prince Hamlet and how the relationship wont last between the two of them as he has duties to attend to like serving his country and this will get in the way of his love life. Laertes also say ” As he in his particular act and place
May give his saying deed, which is no further than the main voice of Denmark goes withal” this shows hamlets love being a factor that is only as far as Denmark will allow it to be. Ophelia replies by saying that she should stop preaching in her love life and tell her to stop worrying, Laertes says she wont worry and Ophelia shouldn’t either.
Polonius then enters and tells Laertes that she should get on the boat on go aswell as give her his blessing for the trip, Laertes says goodbye and exits.
Polonius then asks Ophelia what her brother asked and she replies by saying “So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet.”
Polonius then completely agrees with Laertes and says that he is getting a bit concerned as she has been spending a lot of time with him recently and Ophelia has been very open for him which her father doesn’t approve off even though it’s because he has been showing Ophelia a lot of Affection recently according to herself.
Polonius then argues with Ophelia by telling her that she should stop being so stupid and stop seeing and talking to Prince Hamlet and the scene ends with Ophelia saying “I shall obey, my lord.” and the scene ends.
