What is ironic about polonius' attempt to learn about laertes' life in paris? think back at what polonius is asking reynaldo to ask or say while in paris?

The irony involved in this portion of "Hamlet", the William Shakespeare play, centers on what would actually happen if Reynaldo decides to go along with what Polonius says. Reynaldo deciding to pursue what Polonius has asked about Laertes' life in Paris could potentially break down Laertes' reputation for him. All of this could happen just because they wanted to know more information about him.
