Is Hamlet Mad?
"I will be brief. Your noble son is mad," states Polonius (II, ii,
91) . Ophelia exclaims, "O what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!"
(III, i, 153). "Alas, he's mad," concludes Gertrude (III, iv,
106). Claudius even instructs Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to escort
Hamlet to England because "it [is not] safe with us/To let his madness
range" (III, iii, 1-2). Essentially, each supporting character
questions Hamlet's sanity, and most conclude he is indeed mad.

…showed last 75 words of 823 total…in them. Hamlet wrestles with
Laertes in Ophelia's open grave, a completely inappropriate and
possibly condescending act. Hamlet also jumps onto a pirate ship
alone, without anyone to back him up, without any assurance of
survival. Moreover, Hamlet orchestrates the death of Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern, his dear friends who are not part of his avenging plan.
Finally, Hamlet stabs blindly through a curtain, killing Polonius.
Then, Hamlet will not reveal where he hides Polonius' body.
