In Act 1 Scene 3 Laerts is just about to head to Paris before that he asks his sister who is Ophelia about her relationship with Prince Hamlet as Prince Hamlet is way above her in a social status. He asked Ophelia this as he was worried that Prince Hamlet was going to take advantage of his sister Ophelia. Ophelia then says don’t be a hypocrite after he said “if you have sex with Prince Hamlet you are damaged goods” maybe because Laerts might have been sleeping around with loads of women. When Laerts leaves Polonius tells his daughter that Prince Hamlet only wants to sleep with her and that she is an idiot if she believes that Prince Hamlet will actually fall in love with her, he then orders her to stop seeing Prince Hamlet.
