Send a textPart 1 — Polonius coaches surveillance (Polonius + Reynaldo)Polonius sends Reynaldo to Paris with money and messages for Laertes.But Polonius doesn’t say, “Go check on my son like a normal person.”He says—basically—“Go investigate my son.”Here’s the tactic, and it’s nasty in a very realistic way:Polonius tells Reynaldo:Don’t ask directly, “How is Laertes behaving?”Instead, casually drop mild accusations and see what sticks.Not monstrous lies.Little “reasonable” hints.He’s teaching Reynaldo to do this:Talk to people who might know Laertes.Suggest that Laertes has been seen drinking, gambling, getting into trouble.Keep it vague—lightly scandalous.Then watch how the other person responds.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
