Answer: Polonius is going to be murdered.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's play, Polonius is killed by Hamlet who mistakes his voice for Claudius'.

Polonius' death has an impact on other characters. For example, it causes Claudius to fear for Ophelia (his wife) to go mad. Polonius' death also causes Hamlet to fall into guilt.
