In Hamlet, some of the most significant events are mental or psychological:
awakenings, discoveries, changes in consciousness, etc. Hamlet experiences many
uncontrolled psychological issues due to vigorous and emotional experiences. There
have been many discussions about whether or not Hamlet was mad. In a
well-written essay, decide if Hamlet’s actions throughout the play show that
he is mad, or if they are purely just a reaction to extreme grief and the
inability to move on. In your response you will need to examine both internal and
external aspects of characterization, as well as how other characters respond to
Hamlet and his words and actions.
