Polonius

Polonius is a character from William Shakespeare’s play "Hamlet." He serves as the Lord Chamberlain and is an adviser to King Claudius. Polonius is known for being talkative, somewhat meddlesome, and often overly cautious. He tries to control situations through spying and manipulation, which sometimes leads to unintended complications. His speech is formal and verbose, reflecting his desire to appear wise and prudent. Ultimately, Polonius is portrayed as a well-meaning but comically overbearing figure whose actions significantly influence the play’s events.
