Caleb Johnson Ms. Tobias ENGL 1205 28 March 2024 Acting To Reality Lots of people believe that Hamlet is mad, and I agree with them. But I think there is more to it. Hamlet is a very wise person and is very well-spoken. I believe that Hamlet first started acting mad, but throughout the play, and after each event and everything that happened to him, I believe he did turn mad. By the end of the play when he is fighting with Laretes, I think that he has gone fully mad.

Intro: A famous quote from Ghandi says, “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” This is a quote that applies to the characters in Hamlet who are driven by revenge.

As he madness grew his father ghost would appear upon him when he would do crazy stuff like murder, Hamlet madness started when his father first appear, and told Hamlet his uncle king Claudius murdered him. Now prince Hamlet seeks revenge for his father, and wants to prove Claudius did murder his father. I say the ghost is a connection to Hamlet madness, because when King Hamlet told him how he was murdered, he sworn to get revenge. “O all you host of heaven!
In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, there are characters that don't play an active role throughout the entire book, although these characters aren't always involved they still play a significant role. The character that has appeared to affect this work of literature the most while not being included in a majority of the text, is the ghost of King Hamlet.

This in turn affected Hamlet greatly, instead of mourning his father's death, he began to avenge his father's death.
Hamlet, written by famous playwright and poet, William Shakespeare, is frequently referred to as the “Mona Lisa” of literature. The true purpose and complete understanding of the play is, up to this day, not remotely knowledgeable by scholars and the audience alike. The play has led to much conversation about what Shakespeare was ultimately trying to accomplish with it. One vexed and widely referred critique was that made by T.S. Eliot, in which he described, “The ‘madness’ of Hamlet lay to Shakespeare’s hand…a deliberate dissimulation, but a form of emotional relief” (Eliot 93). In creating Hamlet, Shakespeare achieved perplexity in the scheme that created for misinterpretation of an unexplained Hamlet.

Shortly after his father 's death, Hamlet’s mother weds her brother-in-law, Claudius, making him the new King of Denmark.
