Polonius, the Mr. Binns of Denmark

Polonius is a character in Hamlet. He is the chief adviser of the king in the court of Denmark. And he is not a very exciting person to be around. His voice sounds dull and dry, he's old, and worst of all, he's a know-it-all. He is also the father of the beautiful Ophelia, which is fairly ironic as he is not supposed to be one of the more attractive characters in the book. Because he sides with Claudius, I believe that he will be killed off later in the book because, you know, Hamlet. Plus, I think that he may have been one of the characters that Shakespeare himself played because, well, look at them side by side:
