Feigned

Hamlet, this quote could not be more relevant. The quote directly applies to the main character, Hamlet, who develops an elaborate revenge plot against his uncle. One part of this plan was feigning his own madness. However, as time progressed, this feigned madness eventually became actual madness, and ended up harming Hamlet.

The Thirty-Six Stratagems have variably been attributed to Sun Tzu from the Spring and Autumn period of China, or Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms period, the earlier points of ancient Chinese history. Though the events of Shakespeare's Hamlet take place hundreds

Shakespeare's Hamlet is arguably one of the best plays known to English literature. It presents the protagonist, Hamlet, and his increasingly complex path through self discovery. His character is of an abnormally complex nature, the likes of which not often found in plays, and many different theses have been put forward about Hamlet's dynamic disposition. One such thesis is that Hamlet is a young man with an identity crisis living in a world of conflicting values. An identity crisis can be defined

Ophelia. Although Ophelia in her mad scenes can be seen to serve as a double for Hamlet during his absence from Denmark and from the play, Hamlet's madness is in every way contrasted with hers, in part, no doubt, to emphasize the difference between the feigned and actual madness. His discourse, although witty, savage, and characterized by non-sequiturs and bizarre references, almost never has the "quoted," fragmentary, ritualized quality of Ophelia's-as we are instructed: "Nor what he spake, though it lacked

Moniker, an unemployed 34 year old male, has never been able to maintain consistent and deep relationships. For his whole life, he has lived with his mother, a la¬¬¬¬wyer who often traveled the country to argue high-profile cases that obtain much media coverage to the public. Because of the pressure for Moniker’s mother to succeed in these cases, limited attention was provided to him by his mother, especially during his childhood years.

"The Dying Detective," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle described how Sherlock Holmes feigned his death as a plan to frame Culverton Smith for Victor Savage's demise. Sherlock Holmes produced a meticulous plan in order to successfully frame Smith of his crime and gain evidence of the situation. The first step in Homes' plan was that he rejected Dr. Watson's medical assistance and acted as if he was dying. Sherlock Holmes feigned the disease by applying Vaseline to his forehead, using belladonna to make his

deliverers. There is far too much forethought in this for someone considered mad to have.

Many of his actions do seem rash and without reason, but as the play progresses, it is shown that Hamlet has a plan all along and uses his crafted madness in order to progress his plan. Hamlet’s sanity is a debate that
