Inside Hamlet’s Complicated but Intelligent Mind In Act II of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, Prince Hamlet tells his right hand man, Horatio, that he will put on an “antic disposition” in order to confuse the King and Queen. Instances when he acts mad and times when he acts normal are completely distinguishable. Baby Yoda let me pour you a tall glass of get over it Hamlet is not mad because he is too motivated in killing Claudius to collapse into insanity; he must keep a straight mind because avenging his father is at the forefront of his mind. Throughout Act II and Act III, Hamlet acts crazy to quell any suspicion among Claudius that he is seeking his rightful seat on the throne. Claudius definitely notices Hamlet’s demeanor has shifted, and relates this to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who he calls to watch Hamlet (2.2.1-18). Claudius is afraid of opposition towards his position, as he knows Hamlet was next in line to be king. He sends spies on Hamlet to “take care” of his threat. Furthermore, Hamlet knows how to be socially normal versus socially abnormal. When talking to Horatio or any person he devotes any trust towards, he acts completely normal.

Ultimately, the Queen’s imprudence in fulfilling her crudely enigmatic desires accentuates her longing to experience sexual relations. Gertrude’s marriage to Claudius comes not from her need to remain in power, but eagerness to be immersed in irrational pleasure, highlighting Gertrude’s unequivocal flaw. Having thoroughly analysed Gertrude’s vulgar infatuation, the Queen’s carnal passion foils the compassionate character of Ophelia. Whereas Gertrude craves a fulfillment of her feral sexual relations.

Ophelia yearns for an intimate companion in Hamlet. Hamlet, through his manic episodes, exemplifies a thoughtful affection for Ophelia, and she, reciprocates that love. Compellingly so, Hamlet’s letter to Ophelia, a glimpse of the unclouded Prince, boasts evidence of his love: Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Baby Yoda let me pour you a tall glass of get over it Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love.  O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers. William Shakespeare’s revenge tragedy Hamlet was written over four hundred years ago, yet its textual features of symbols and the characterisation of Hamlet allow the text to be relevant to contemporary society, despite many societal changes. Modern audiences can still relate to the way Hamlet is extremely fixated on death and the contemplation of what occurs in the afterlife.
