With specific and direct references to the text discuss how Polonius' advice to Laertes reveals the true character of the speaker

Polonius' view of how to act properly towards others demonstrates how he lives in a world of show and status. His advice to Laertes is given in vain, as at attempt to keep him as a reflection of himself.
