This idealism will indirectly lead to the death of Hamlet later in the play‚ but it does showcase

After reading Hamlet‚ I had to decipher whether or not I believed that the madness that Hamlet showed was feigned or if he was actually crazy. I also had to figure out if Ophelia was just acting crazy to make a point and be dramatic or if she was crazy due to her love for Hamlet.
