part in life than we give them credit for. In the case of Hamlet it would seem that many deaths could have been avoided had Polonius not occurred. Who is to say what really would have happened though. Despite Polonius, Claudius still wanted Hamlet dead, Ophelia was still heartbroken, and Norway would probably have invaded anyways killing lord knows who. We must still watch those characters lurking in the shadows; their influences are bigger than we know....
