Shakespeares play hamlet is about a complex protagonist, small town, who faces adversity and is destined to murder the one-on-one(a) who killed his father. Hamlet is a character who although his actions and emotions may be one of an round the bend person, in the beginning of the book it is clear that Hamlet decides to fake mono homophileia in order for his plan to succeed in killing Claudius. Hamlet is fair because throughout the play he only acts senile in forepart of certain people, to others he acts properly and displays proper prince like look who is subject to cope with them without sounding crazy, and even after everything that has been going on in his life he is able to take revenge by killing his fathers murderer. In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare Hamlet is sane but acts insane to fulfill his destiny of getting vengeance on his fathers murderer.Hamlet throughout the play seems insane but in public it is only an act to achieve his goal of killing h is fathers murderer. Hamlet chooses to go mad so he has an advantage over his opponent and since he is the Prince of Denmark certain behavior is unacceptable, so by faking madness he is able to get away with inappropriate sayings and actions. We can see this when he duologue to Claudius, Polonius, Ophelia and his mother. When Hamlet talks to Horatio in the first act he says how he is going to feign madness and that There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy...How strange or odd someer i bear myself (As i perchance hereafter shall think meet To put in an antic disposition on) That you, at such times seeing me, never shall, With arms encumbered thus, or this headshake, Or by pronouncing of some suspicious phrase...let us go in toget... ...sane because he is fully aware of his purlieu and before acting he always rationalizes everything. He fakes madness so he can say and do things that a mad man would do, but internally he is aware o f what he is doing and we know he is not insane but he acts crazy in front of certain people. His way of thinking is like a normal individuals, if an individual was crazy they would not be thinking everything through and if someone were crazy they would definitely not have the capabilities of outsmarting someone, like how Hamlet outsmarted Claudius. All these reasons and oft more are why Hamlet is not insane, he is as sane of an individual as any other, but unlike others he had to go through a lot of emotional pain and a sense of abandonment to reach a successful point in his life.
