what does polonius instructions to ophekkia demonstrate about his character?
Polonius and Claudius loose Ophelia on Hamlet and mark their encounter, hoping to find the root of his madness. They instruct Ophelia to pretend that she is simply reading a book and withdraw behind a tapestry. Polonius demonstrates a ruthlessness hitherto unseen in his character...... to use his daughter in such a way was the truest sign of selfishness and callousness he could give us. The man was nothing more than mercilous and self-serving.
