To the argument of man, Hamlet is actually sane. Hamlet before any of his questionable actions happened, occurred only after he met the ghost of his father. This meeting led to the ideas of hamlet to act irrationally only because the ghost wishes him to revenge his murder. This is proven when Hamlet tells Horatio, "How strong or odd some'er I bear myself That you at such times seeing me, never shall with arms encumbering thus or this headshake, or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase"(I.v.190-195). That quote is where Hamlet literally says the he would be acting irrationally in a later time, which would excuse him of insanity at towards Horatio and Marcellus. In that Horatio and Marcellus know about the ghost, Hamlet acts normally and rationally towards them. Unlike how he acts irrational around Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude. and Ophelia. Others that he acts rationally towards would be the players because they have no relationship towards Claudius and so he does not have to pull off his deception towards …show more content…
When he first encountered the ghost of his father was when all hell broke loose with the thoughts of avenging his father's death. At first he sought to act in "madness" so to better increase his odds during his investigation on whether Claudius did murder his father or not drew the outcome he did not deserve. Hamlet holding his sarcastic nature helped in deluding people such as Polonius for his real intent and to start to draw worry from Claudius. When Claudius began to become more confused on whether Hamlet actually is insane or not threw him off his guard and created a suspicion. The only flaw in Hamlet showing signs of insanity was that his relationships with Ophelia and his mother Gertrude grew worse. Also during the pressure of all this Hamlet is impacted upon depression because he is over thinking everything and it is just because he is over thinking everything and it is just building more and more stress upon him. One reason the stress was building was because of the fact that hamlet was overthinking the whole situation and wasn’t taking action when he had the chances. It was only because of Hamlet's indecisiveness that soon led to prolonged conflict and eventually his death. All Hamlet wanted to do was to kill the murderer Cladius who murdered his father and what did he get in return? Death. He was to be a tragic hero to save the day, but ended six feet under a meadow of

    Throughout the play Hamlet faked his insanity to fulfill his plan of revenge. Hamlet continuously feigned insanity during the play without ever going fully insane.

    Hamlet Sanity In Hamlet

    • 1030 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Insanity is defined as “the unsoundness of mind or the lack of ability to understand”. This is a definition Hamlet clearly does not fit. Throughout the entirety of the play Hamlet maintains the ability to think analytically and demonstrate self-control in a way that bespeaks his exemplary understanding of the world around him and how its occupants function. The first example of Hamlet’s analytical thinking capabilities is in Act II Scene ii where Hamlet develops his plan to have the players perform The Murder of Gonzago in order to observe Claudius’s reaction. Hamlet understands that forcing Claudius to watch his wicked deeds replayed might make him act in a guilty manner and Hamlet uses this information to devise a plan to determine if the information the ghost king has given him is true. An insane person would most likely not be able to enlist this use of foresight and rationality to create such an ingenious idea. Hamlet also employs a presence of mind and control of self that is rare to find in an insane person in Act III Scene iii. Hamlet strongly desires to kill Claudius but he understands that it would be better to kill at a time when he is not in prayer, instead…

    The former King is filling him with thoughts of betrayal by his own family. When he reveals the truth behind his death, he plants in Hamlet’s head the idea of betrayal which is the beginning of Hamlet’s madness. Although a father should guide his son in a positive direction, Old King Hamlet actually does the opposite. He explains to Hamlet that his own brother was the sole killer by poisoning him. He asks Hamlet to “revenge his foul and most unnatural murder” (Act.1 Scene.5 Line.31). Hamlet may never have gone mad if it were not for his father asking for him to kill. His father is the cause of the emotional breakdown of Hamlet. Had Old King Hamlet not told him about this murder and asked his son, in turn, to murder his brother, Hamlet would not have the crisis that he had to face. It began with this request and it had a huge effect on Hamlet’s mental health. Although Hamlet would never have considered murdering his own family, his father has psychologically changed this part of him. Later, after the prince kills Polonius, Old King Hamlet is seen again. Hamlet is arguing with his mother when his father comes down to remind him about his death. Obviously his father’s ghost has been watching over him and doesn’t really care about Hamlet’s mental state but only that he has not yet killed…

    The question still remains throughout the play of Shakespeare, was Hamlet pretending to be insane or not? It is difficult to identify what is hidden in the mind or whether it was true or not.

The mysterious ghost appears to Prince Hamlet in the shape of his father, King Hamlet. Everything from his father’s death to Ophelia’s rejection has brought Hamlet to face his own…

    Hamlet's Madness In Hamlet

    • 1624 Words
    • 7 Pages

    This feigned madness provides Hamlet with the loss of responsibility. Men who are insane do not think rationally, they do not plan a well thought out idea ahead of time, nor do they have viable reasons for their actions, and they are unaware of what is going on around them. Hamlet on the other hand masterminded a plan that made the King, Claudius, show his guilt. Hamlet carefully thought about his actions. He wanted Claudius to suffer for his actions, so when he had the chance to kill Claudius while he was praying, he didn’t because he didn’t want Claudius to go to heaven. If he (Hamlet) was mad he would have killed Claudius then without thinking too much about it. Hamlet is a character of thought and power. Although easily swayed by his own mind he still portrayed a man with an intelligent mind. He can be considered sane because he has a very complex way of thought, one of which an insane person couldn’t operate. Hamlet can be seen as a person who passed through good and bad times and reacted according to them. Events after his father’s death can be perceived as stages of…

    There have been many arguments as to if Hamlet is insane or not. This is a topic that a lot of people have concerns about.

    Hamlet directed a play to depict how his father was murdered by Claudius(Shakespeare Act.5 Sc.2). During a certain part of the play, the actors acted out how Claudius inserted poison into Hamlet Sr.’s ear while he was asleep. Hamlet knew that this would finally let Claudius know that he knows the truth about his father death.Also, Hamlet included a scene in the play where it was obvious that the queen condoned her husband’s death(Shakespeare Act.5 Sc.2). The prince wanted his mother to know that she was evil , he planned everything out and it worked in his favor . One that is insane would not be able to direct a play to display the exact description of what a ghost explained to him about his death.

    He views the world as “weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable.” This also suggests that he is a very negative person. Similarly, Shakespeare used the soliloquy in “Now I am Alone” to expose Hamlets characterization. This is evidently a turning point in the play because Hamlet speaks to the audience for the first time. He states, “I’ll have these players play something like the murder of my father before mine uncle. I’ll observe his looks; I’ll tend his to be quick If he do blench I know my course”. Basically, he is going to hire someone to reenact his father’s death and to see how Claudius will react. This will determine is Claudius is the murderer. The quotation mentioned above demonstrates Hamlets deviousness and cleverness. Lastly, in the soliloquy, “To be or Not to Be” Hamlets characterization can be inferred from his speech. The basic meaning of the soliloquy is the moral meaning of life and death. Shakespeare writes in Act 3, Scene 1, lines 59-61, “To be, or not to be: that is the question: / Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer / The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune / Or to take arms against a sea of troubles”. It is clear that he is uncertain about life and death. This shows that he is indecisive as a person. He begins…

    Having lost his father, Hamlet felt anguished and devastated with his mother’s hasty marriage to his uncle, Claudius. However, even with the disgust and hatred that he felt, it had never crossed his mind that his father’s death was a murder, committed by someone that he considered family. When Horatio, Bernardo and Marcellus explain to Hamlet their glimpse of the ghost of old King Hamlet, he decides that he wants to join the men and witness it for himself. That night, the ghost approaches Hamlet and beckons to speak alone. Hamlet follows, and after the eye-opening conversation with the soul of his father, he finds out that old King Hamlet was poisoned by Claudius. Hamlet was quick to understand that he was entitled to avenge his father’s death. This shows that many are frequently influenced by the voice in our head that tells us to do something even when we know we should not. Although Hamlet was convinced he must retaliate against his father’s death, he insisted on gaining proof before killing Claudius due to Horatio’s belief that the ghost was an evil spirit, “Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason / and draw you into madness? Think of it” (1.4.76-77). Hamlet did not want the people of Denmark to believe that he was so evil to be plotting to kill his stepdad with his proof coming from a dead soul. Hamlet attains an opportunity to prove that Claudius is…

Hamlet takes precautionary actions through his own insanity to protect himself from the reign of King Claudius. Hamlet is a tale of a man who cannot decide where his morals lye. He believes his scheme/revenge is the correct decision, but Hamlet procrastinates and hesitates when carrying out the death of his Uncle for the revenge of his father. In order to cover his scheme for revenge Hamlet becomes insane in the eyes of his predecessors. Hamlet not only questions himself, but also the ghost of his father. He states, “May be the devil: and the devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape (act 11 ,scene 11).” It is Hamlet 's weakness that allows the ghost of his father to persuade him to carry out the revenge of his father 's murder.
