Hamlet What is the function of the Polonius-Ophelia-Laertes family in this play? Asked by bookragstutor 12 years ago 8/20/2012 10:22 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 8/28/2012 2:25 PM
In many ways they are a parallel to Claudius, Jacosta and Hamlet. The royal family is the plot, and the Polonius family are the subplot.
