Another Hamlet Essay, Research Paper

The real question is Hamlet crazy or is he just acting it. In

my opinion there are many things throughout the play that

make me tend to believe that he is crazy. When Hamlet

enters Opheliu’s room and she has the question if he is truly

mad or if he is just acting. Hamlet is proven o be crazy in this

play and statements and actions he days and does are the

thing that prove this. There are many things that make me

tend to beleive that Hamlet is crazy. There are also many

things that he does that does not want to make you think that

he is crazy but for others to think this of him it just make me

want to beleive even more that he is crazy. One of the things

that shows that he is crazy is that he contemplates suicide or

as Hamlet says "self slaughter", this is definately a true act of

pure craziness. Hamlet also wants to believe that he see’s

this ghost of his father that is odd because when he is in the

room with his mother he starts to talk to the ghost and the

mother does not see it. Also when he walked into Ophelius’s

room he just stood there staring at her for a long time and no

normal person does this. This is just another example of one

of the examples that proves that Hamlet is crazy. Hamlet

also has a lot of evil in him like when he killed Polomius for

no reason when he was behind the curtains in his moms

room. Also when he see’s his Uncle Claudius praying he is

deciding whether or not it is a good idea to kill him. These

are just other examples how I think that he is crazy. Another

importnt thing to show that he is crazy is that he has no fear

like when he started to follow his father apparation even

when Horatio said don’t go because it could be dangerous.

He also does things that are very odd and random like when

Ophelius and him were wathcing the play he just put his

head in her lap and started mumbling about nothing. Hamlets

image has also got very scrubby by the way he dresses and

the way he looks. Ophelius said that when she saw him she

was scared. These are all examples about why I think that

Hamlet is crazy and this is why Ophelius thinks that he is

crazy when He came into his room. Hamlet claims to his

fathers ghost and to Horation that he is only acting crazy.

Anyone that acts to be crazy really is crazy. So this does not

make me change my mind that Hamlet is crazy. There are

many instinces that make you want to believe that he is

acting crazy but if you really think about it he really is crazy.

In this play Hamlet has problems and by all the actions that

he does only poves this theory.
