Mr. Stevens:

The adivce of Polonius is good and sound and a good mark of Elizabethian Chivalry and Courtesy.

However, Polonius is a dottering old hyporcrite - sending messengers to go spy on his son's behavior.....(his accidental death ... needs to be deemed waranted - for the dramitc irony - and relationship with the audience.) and lending support to Hamelt's role as the hero.

Sincerely,

Gargoyle
