Exploring The Cause Of Insanity In Shakespeare's Hamlet

In conclusion, as you can see the speculation behind this was because he overthinked about the consequences of every action. Hamlets chaos incapacitates him as he can’t physically and mentally think clearly for himself to execute the revenge. His depression and the marriage of his mother and vicious uncle had all piled stress on his shoulder. As the only person left in the family besides his mother, who he doesn’t trust, poor Hamlet had nobody to expose his feelings to for advice. Instead, his only way of going around it was to act like a lunatic to get what he wanted, justice. Ultimately, at the end it was all worth a try because the city of Denmark lived in tranquility as the Fortinbras army replaced King Claudius.
