Would Pemulis be Polonius though? If he were the advisor to the king, then the king would more likely be Tavis, not Hal. I do like the idea of Mario as a court

I do like the idea of Mario as a court jester though.
- npilk 1y agoGood point. Although the book isn't any sort of adaptation, so I could see including an allusion to the Polonius character even in a slightly different role. (I'd also forgotten about the janitors, who are clearly a reference to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern)
- eszed 1y agoI associated Pemulis with Polonius based on the phonemic similarity of the names. I don't have the maths background to evaluate the mistakes, but agree that if intentional they "match" with the character's presentation in Hamlet.
- kolbe 1y agoMaybe a phonetic similarity with "pretentious" as well
