Hamlets view on what he should do, which again is a disguise of his madness because the ego must deal with the realistic side of the id which allows for there to be two sides that we can look. Which is the same as Hamlets madness of being real or false. Nevertheless, while Hamlet activities do truly point toward an unbalanced mental state, he may just be putting on a performance. He acts mad around some and there are moments in the play when he acts normal and lucid; his madness would be valuable to him as a justification to stay near his uncle and his uncle’s room in order to receive a better understanding of him.
