Madness and Insanity in Shakespeares Hamlet - A Sane Man :: Shakespeare Hamlet Essays

Hamlet: A Sane Man          Hamlet was for sure a rational man. He was just pretending frenzy to further his own arrangements for retribution. His words were so astutely developed that others will see him as mad.  It is this predictable shrewdness that is a definitive proof of his total rational soundness. Can a distraught individual be so cunning? No, a distraught individual can't.

Ophelia then attempts to restore a few presents that Hamlet provided for her and Hamlet guarantees that he didn't give her any blessings and that he never adored her by any stretch of the imagination.
