When one performs an act several times, eventually that act will become natural. Aristotle once said: “You are what you repeatedly do.” In William Shakespeare’s, Hamlet, Hamlet acts insane after he finds out his father has been murdered by his uncle. Now that his uncle is King, Hamlet hopes to kill him. Hamlet himself is not mad, but he acts as if he is to hopefully get away with more than usual. With the King and Polonius, Hamlet impersonates a crazy person; with Ophelia, Hamlet tries to turn the

Shakespeare's tragic hero, Hamlet, and his sanity can be argued. Many parts of the play shows that he may be sane, or insane. There are indications from Hamlet throughout the play of his mind's well being including many quotes that support both sides. Hamlet has mood swings and his mood changes many times throughout the play. Hamlet seems to act mad when he found out about his father’s death by saying weird things that make him sound mad. It seems as if there are two different Hamlets throughout

play. Hamlet remains seemingly depressed throughout the play. Though almost every character is plagued with the dreaded disease, the causes of Hamlets depression is due to the fact that his father is deceased and his uncle’s hasty marriage with Gertrude, hamlets mother. Though Hamlet is considered as very dramatic throughout the play, it is evident that Hamlet is in a constant battle with his mind. This is apparent in the opening phrase of his first and vital soliloquy in the nunnery scene. Hamlet

Society has no real criteria of to distinguish the difference if one’s action to be considered sane or insane, stated by Emily Dickinson’s persona in the poem “Much Madness is divinest Sense-”.

The poem is structured into eight lines; most of the lines possess at least one dash to separate the two abstract states that cannot be physically grasped or visually see, much madness and divinest sense. On the surface

This is only the beginning of Hamlets poisonous emotional turmoil endured throughout the duration of the play, and it all stems from the betrayal of Claudius on his brother and Gertrude on Hamlet by re-marrying. Hamlet further undergoes a poisoned mind after speaking with the ghost of his father. Hamlet feels the need to avenge his father death after hearing the truth of the murder. There is a filial loyalty that needs to be satisfied in Hamlets mind. Hearing this truth pushes Hamlet over the edge

important decisions. Death as a whole made this story and affected the pot in many ways. All of the reasons for his madness are justified but it may just be part of a whole scheme by Hamlet to get what he wanted. No one had known what had happened when Gertrude and Claudius got married just after King Hamlet’s funeral. An apparition appeared of King Hamlet that wanted to talk to his son in private, he told him, “Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole with juice of cursed hebenon in a vile, and in the porches

There is a lot of evidence in the play that Hamlet purposely faked his own madness in order to confuse and throw the king off about his plans

certain way within societal standards, with examples of Ophelia and Queen Gertrude. Ophelia is portrayed as a light and naive young girl, who does not have a clue as to what life is really about. Her problems lie in her own world, with not much consideration for the kingdom in itself. “She is not involved with matters of state; she spends her days engaged in needlepoint and flower gathering.” (Ophelia, p.1) Queen Gertrude is quite the opposite, only engaged in public affairs,
