madness in hamlet

The tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is, perhaps, one of William Shakespeare's most popular works. One of the possible reasons for the intense recognition of this play is the way Shakespeare uses Hamlet to illustrate the complex workings of the mind, and how one must use deception in order to deceive others to get to the truth. In Hamlet, Shakespeare incorporates the theme of madness to serve a motive. In fact Hamlet was not crazy, but used the madness as a deception to achieve what he wanted. Hamlet himself says, "That I essentially am not in madness, but mad in craft."

He thought about everything he was doing, and everything he was going to do. Hamlet did in fact act like he was mad, just so he could follow through on his plan to avenge his father's death. Hamlet acted like he was mad because he did not want to outright kill Claudius, because he would probably go to heaven, and Hamlet wanted to make him suffer like Claudius had made his father suffer. Hamlet also knew that he could not go around telling people that Claudius killed his father just because a ghost told him so. Therefore, instead Hamlet masterminded a plan that made the King, Claudius, show his guilt and then he would have proof


This quote is about Hamlet's father not going to heaven because he could not confess his sins before he died. Hamlet could not kill Claudius while he was praying because he would go to heaven. He doesn't kill him, but rather he decides that he'll wait and kill him later so he can suffer like his father did. This proves that Hamlet is not mad because if he were mad he would not have thought about the consequences of killing Claudius; he just would have done it right then and there.

And so am I (revenged.) That would be scanned:

That I essentially am not in madness,

He took my father grossly, full of bread,"
