In the play Hamlet, what does Polonious' fate have to do with him acting as Caecar in a University play?

He played Caesar, and of course, Caesar dies, murdered by those who loved him. Hamlet kills Polonius by accident, ironically paralleling Caesar's fate. Brutus and Hamlet both kill seemingly without thinking. It's foreshadowing.
