Because the rest of your doesn't seem to have been written here, I must assume the allusion you are referring to is possibly from this line; Hamlet calls Polonius Jephthah, after the priest in the Old Testament who sacrifices his daughter to God. This allusion suggests Polonius is sacrificing his daughter to trick Hamlet.
