No Escape
Hamlet throughout the play is considered to be mad, and has caught the attention from many people including the king.. His act of madness, rather than focusing on his revenge, almost distracts him from it, as he spends most of the play plotting very little in avenging the ghost's mission even after the proof that he was given during "The Mouse Trap.” Madness in Hamlet seems inescapable, with everyone facing greed within themselves which ultimately results in everyone dying.
William Shakespeare occurring theme of madness in the play is in almost everyone one of his characters. King Claudius goes mad when he discovers that Hamlet knows of his horrific sin. The murder was “… most foul, as in the best it is; but this most foul,strange,and …show more content…
Hamlet uses his madness to almost trick everyone into thinking he is still mourning over his father, but instead he uses his madness to avenge him. Towards the end of the play plots to kill Hamlet begin to arise and to the reader it seems as if Hamlet is in trouble. Hamlet in the play discovers these plots to kill him and is astonished to hear that King Claudius is prepared to kill again. “Does it not, think thee, stand me now upon- He that hath kill’d my king, and whored my mother; Popp’d in between the election and my hopes; Thrown out his angle for my proper life, And with such cozenage- is’t not perfect conscience To quite him with this arm? And is’t not to be damn’d To let this canker of our nature come In further evil?” (4:2 68-75) Hamlet redirects the message he discovers to kill him and uses it against the king and has the people sent to kill him, be murdered in England. Madness is used many ways by Hamlet, but all in a smart way and Shakespeare does a good job interpreting that in the play. Even with with almost every one of his friends being a spy he doesn't freak out and stays focused on the task
