In William Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet," there are .
many arguments about the protagonist, Hamlet, and whether or .
not he was accurately insane or was it just feigned madness. .
Hamlet's life had become distressful after the death of his great .
father, and the marriage of his mother, Gertrude to his uncle .
Claudius, and most disappointing situation was where his uncle .
snatches his passed away brother's throne. These entire situations .
would leave an individual to loose their belief on society and .
reality and fall into complete insanity, but with the great-minded .
Hamlet neither of these conditions would be successful. Though .
the prince of Denmark had displayed numerous signs of madness .
through out the play after finding out the murderer of his father, .
but his madness was a disguise for him in order to investigate and .
find key evidence of Claudius being the actual murderer. .
If Hamlet were truthfully insane, he would not have been .
able to suddenly stop displaying his madness as he did after his .
quarrel with Laertes in the graveyard. The prince also had a .
great desire to act insane, which would help keep him in disguise .
while investigating for his father's unusual death and his plans for .
revenge against his stepfather Claudius, if found guilty. .
After Hamlet witnessed the appearance of his dead father's .
ghost and heard what the spirit had to say to him, Hamlet's .
mission in life was to reveal the truth behind the death of passed .
away King Hamlet and avenge for it in a clever manner. Firstly, .
Hamlet uses a great scheme to confuse those around him about .
the cause of his mental condition, which leads them into .
conclusion of what his true intentions are behind his actions. This .
thought is represented through Hamlet misleading Polonius into .
believing that his love for Ophelia was the main cause of his .
madness.
.
After Hamlet's confrontation with his father's ghost, he .
begins to establish a lack of trust in women.
