Then if he says he loves you, It fits your wisdom so far to believe it 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.

Is Laertes saying that Hamlet is the main voice of Denmark?
Given his situation, it would seem to be giving him a lot of weight –
A lot of weight he seems to have lost with the succession of his uncle.
Or is it Claudius who is the main voice of Denmark
Who would have to give his approval
Or is the general public the main voice?
Do they have to vote on the spouse of a prince?
But once again, I can’t help but notice
The family tendency to talk around a thing
Instead of right into it.
