Best Answer

It prefigures the difficulty in Hamlet's relationship with Ophelia. Hamlet is figuring out that she cannot be trusted to keep his secrets or to understand the complexities of his situation. That is why he gives her a long hard look (as if he would draw her) but yet says nothing. Ophelia's tragedy is that she does not have the ability to plan her way through the dangerous world of the Danish court. Laertes knows she is weak-willed and advises her and then disappears to France. Polonius gives her a bunch of advice and then uses her shamefully. Hamlet pushes her away. They all abandon her which leads to madness and death.
