IS HAMLET SANE OR JUST PLAIN INSANE?
Welcome!
BY: ALEX VANDERVERT

Here you'll learn if Hamlet is truly sane or insane.

Some questions you may be deciding on Hamlets sanity are... Has Hamlets love for Ophelia make him go mad? Has Hamlet really gone mad because of his emotional state resulting from his fathers death, or is Hamlet really just acting so he can fool everyone and revenge his fathers death? You decide.

THESIS

From reading the book you read things that may seem that Hamlet is only "mad" at certain times, and the rest of the time he knows what is what. But also reading you can see that Hamlet is certainly upset and confused and inturn that makes the reader believe that in Hamlets state of mind translates into an extraorinarily intense state of mind that would suggest madness.Although one may assume that Hamlets role of being mad has overcomed him in his journey for revenge, in the end the reader realizes that Hamlet was not mad but was just assuming his role as a mad person to better seek his revenge.
