A detailed Summary of hamlet

The question of Hamlet's insanity is a question raised by many people, is Hamlet a great actor, or has he lost complete sense of what's real? There is no right answer, there is no wrong answer, many readers have different perceptions on what really was going through Hamlet's head.

My perception is that hamlet comes full circle with his insanity, and at points lets it get the best of him, and brings him down to a extremely low point. In the beginning of the novel that Hamlet's spirits aren't all there, and his soul is disturbed, by the death of his father. He seems to be looking for answers and meaning to explain the unexplainable death of his father and his mother's abrupt marriage to his uncle, this is where I believe his insanity started. Given that this happened to anyone normal person, they're mind would be a mess and bitterness and anger would play a huge part in their thoughts.

So, yes in a way, I do believe that Hamlet was diseased with temporary insanity. The Ghost of Hamlet's father, was in way another brick of burden for Hamlet to carry, and did nothing but add confusion and anger to his already disturbed mind. After this I find hamlets madness to grow, he his blinded by bitterness and anger towards his uncle so much

that he loses sight compassion for life and love. Hamlet truly loved Ophelia, In my eyes, and I do believe that if his mind was not clouded with anger, he would've done nothing to ever harm her. Hamlet without even realizing, because of his insanity used Ophelia as a release for his anger, and eventually drove her mad. He basically tortured Ophelia without even knowing, not only by the progression of anger and rejection towards her, but also by killing her own father.

If the ghost did not help guide Hamlet at this point in the novel, I think Hamlet's insanity would've rapidly grown and he probably would've done something completely irrational, to his mother or to anyone else who stood in way. The second step to the snapping out of Hamlet's temporary insanity is Ophelia's Funeral, this is where I think he truly realizes to preciousness of life and love, and his mind becomes less clouded by anger.Hamlet is reminded of the beauty of life and love and how it can be taken away with the drop of a hat, he also realizes the harm he has done to poor Ophelia. Even though Hamlet's actions are insane, at Ophelia's funeral, I do believe his thoughts are purest and clearest they've been, so far in the novel.

As I said I believe Hamlet has lost all perception of love, this is why I believe he became very hostile with his Mother. The re-appearance of the ghost of Hamlet's father, began to p
