Abstract

Shakespeare’s Hamlet is one of the most famous tragic characters in the world literature, and with him, THE QUESTION OF HIS MADNESS TOO. An exploration of Hamlet's madness can be structured around three key perspectives: the nature of his madness, the influence of his delirious associations on how he perceivesother characters, and the implications of his playfulness. Hamlet exemplifies a blend of madness and steadfast wisdom. Though seemingly fragile, this wisdom emerges as the dominant force steering his actions.
