Generally regarded as wrong in every judgment he makes over the course of the play, Polonius is described by William Hazlitt as a ""sincere"" father, but also ""a busy-body, [who] is accordingly officious, garrulous, and impertinent"". In Act II Hamlet refers to Polonius as a ""tedious old fool"" and taunts him as a latter day ""Jeptha"". Polonius connives with Claudius to spy on Hamlet.
