Hamlet
Is Hamlet mad? Well, this question is simple to answer for some people. Isn't the term "mad" a little harsh? Maybe not. In my opinion, he's insane. But I also think he has a right to be. There is so much drama going on in Hamlets life, it's literally driving him out of his mind. And I understand him well enough that if it was me, I would be doing the same thing. His father died two months ago and his mother is already marrying another man. To make matters worse, this other man is Hamlet's uncle. Ophelia committs suicide by drowning herself.

After Ophelia find out the man she loves has killed her father, she goes crazy. Soon after she drowns herself, making Hamlet even more "mad."
