One of the most salient and oft-mentioned arguments that arise concerning Hamlet is whether he can be considered truly mad‚ or simply genius. Did these situations- the ghost’s arrival‚ The Murder of Gonzago‚ and Polonius’s murder in any way change his course? While it is true that all humans have the potential for deeds with magnitudes of great good and evil‚ was he already bloodthirsty‚ did he become bloodthirsty‚ or was his brutality simply awoken from its slumber?
