Ophelia and Polonius Discuss Hamlet's Love
Polonius asks Ophelia what Laertes was referring to. She says, rather vaguely, it was regarding Lord Hamlet. Polonius then admits he has heard gossop about Hamlet and Ophelia spending private time together. He warns that when sexual desire is aroused, the tongue will make promises that cannot be kept. From this moment on, Ophelia must spend less time with Hamlet and set her expectations higher.
