Is Hamlet mad? Well, this question is simple to answer for some people. Isn't the term "mad" a little harsh? Maybe not. In my opinion, he's insane. But I also think he has a right to be. There is so much drama going on in Hamlets life, it's literally driving him out of his mind. And I understand him well enough that if it was me, I would be doing the same thing. His father died two months ago and his mother is already marrying another man. To make matters worse, this other man is Hamlet's uncle. Ophelia committs suicide by drowning herself. She was Hamlets one and only true love. He also finds out Claudius has everyone spying on him, watching his every move. And what does Hamlet want? Revenge. Revenge on Claudius for killing his father. Hamlet's way of taking revenge is so strange that the people aroud him start to believe he is truely going insane.
Hamlet believes Claudius is evil and an unfaithful king. He believes Claudius is only marrying his mother to gain reign of Denmark. Although he also believes his moher is marrying Claudius because she is lonley. Hamlet becomes very angry at his mother for these reasons and he has a rig
. . .
But he has no reason to speak anymore because no one will listen to him. Yes, I admit, Hamlet is "mad," but at least he is his own person. Although as much as he tries, Hamlet knows he cannot change his mother's mind. During this time period, Horatio, Hamlets only friend, stays by Hamlets side and believes his words. Hamlet is somewhat of a weak person in trying to deal with all the stress in his life, but I also envy him in a way never wanting to kill himself from all the drama. " Claudius has created a monster in Hamlets head, making Hamlet insane. Although Hamlet does not know if he should believe this ghostly figure of his father or believe it really is his father. Denmark is agaist Hamlet's views and opinions about this wrongful marriage. The marriage between Claudius and Gertrude makes Hamlet a little crazy. While Hamlet is still in mourning over the death of his father, his dumbfounded mother is marrying her own brother in law. Hamlet finds out from his fathers ghost that Claudius has killed his father, poisoning him, to become king and marry Gertrude. A pool of blood creeps out from under the curtain as Hamlet pulls the curtain up from off the ground. " Ophilia's brother, Laertes, finds out what happens as well, and wants to take revenge on Hamlet. Altough in by taking this revenge, it seems as if he has lost his mind.
