Why Does Hamlet Look Crazy
The only act in the play that might make Hamlet look crazy is when he is in the Queen’s chamber. Hamlet had just killed Polonius. The Queen says, “Alas he’s mad” (Act III scene 4). He was talking to something that wasn’t even there. However, Hamlet irrational acts by far outweigh actions that he has performed and things he had said that makes him look crazy. There are somethings that he has done that a person who was actual mad would never be able to figure out. How could a person who is going to kill the King be able to understand that killing him while he was praying will take him to heaven? How could a man without senses be able to ponder on the right moment to perform such actions? How could a man t that is not in the correct mind be able
to put on such a good act and deceive almost everyone? If he was crazy, why did he not do doubt what the ghost told him? Not only does this prove that is he not mad but sensible but also his scheme was ingenious.
The points that suggest that Hamlet is not mad are justified just well as the point that made suggest that he is mad. He seems to be aware of the things that he says and the actions he performs. Hamlet is not crazy or mad. He acted in such a way to fool people around him to get revenge for his father’s death. If Hamlet has acted rashly and killed Claudius immediately, he might have gotten killed the wrong. He created a smart plan to catch the murderer. He would not be able to dig up such a plan if he was crazy for sure. Some may agree with my points and some may not. The point is a man that did what Hamlet accomplish in the play to seek out revenge could not have done it if he was mad.
