Both feel that Ophelia and Hamlet could never marry simply because they are incompatible socially. Hamlet could be married off to any princess for diplomatic reasons at any time having to give up Ophelia. Laertes has a more loving approach with Ophelia showing more care then Polonius, who doesn't seem to connect with ophelia at all, and tends to think she is very childish. Polonius tends to be one of those characters that does his own thing the entire play and never really connects.
