k i know it's already thursday so I'm a tad late but here goes...not sticking to Act I hope yall don't mind...

Hamlet's madness: real or affected?

I'm in the group that says his madness is affected for the sole purpose of discovering his uncle's guilt. His pointed comments to Polonius and ophelia show that he is using his madness to hide behind.

He is however suffering from circumstantial depression over the death of his father and now has added to that the uncertainty of the message of the ghost.

what do you think? am I out to lunch?

Hey guys... just so you know, I think I am going to stick around and discuss Hamlet with y'all despte my goodbye post in GP... but I'll probably do it unregistered 'cause it'll be a little easier for me to disconnect from CGR that way...

Anyway, I'll be back this afternoon with some Hamlet thoughts . God bless!

alright Hamlet is a rather complex character.

I agree with you that he is depressed. He's also by nature a contemplitive person which adds I think to his melencholia. (can you tell who's been writing essay's lately?!)

Hamlet though does things like the murder of Polonius that make me suspect that while he isn't mad he isn't mentally balanced either.

My thoughts are really scattered today...so as they come to me I'll post em.

it's not that he murders Polonius it's how he does it. It's stabbing through the hanging thingy whatever it's called first adn checking ot see who it is second.

I don't think that Hamlet was mad...I think he used his so-called "madness" as an excuse to put off killing his uncle. He tried to convince himself that his father's ghost was either an affect of mental illness or a demon trying to make him go to hell. He even puts off killing Polonius at one time because he's praying, and, of course, this means he'd automatically go to Heaven if he were to die at the moment. Hamlet comes up with many excuses to cover up his fear.
