Answer:

The metaphor portrays Polonius as foolish and feeble.

Explanation:

he is described as a windbag by some and a rambler of wisdom by others. It has also been suggested that he only acts like a "foolish prating knave" to keep his position and popularity safe and to keep anyone from discovering his plots for social advancement.
