I believe that the best answer for this question is an allusion. An allusion is a literary device where a writer refers to some other work of literature in their own work of literature in order to make some point or add emphasis. Here, T.S.

Polonius is a very cautious character but is overall fairly useless. I hope this helps. Don't forget to make me brainiest.
