The statement is false.
Hamlet is a play written by William Shakespeare and published in 1603. It tells the story of Hamlet, who decides to get revenge for his father's death after finding out that he was murdered by the new king, Claudius, who is also Hamlet's uncle. In the play, Polonius is the counsellor of the king and Ophelia's father. Moreover, Polonius believes that Hamlet acts so strangely because he is in love with Ophelia. Polonius thinks that the prince has gone crazy due to the passion he feels for his daughter.
