Shove That 'Crazy' Up Your -

To be or not to be. That is the question.
However, in the reader's perspective, it's more of a 'to do or not to do'.
Either way, Hamlet is a very weird, possibly crazy, undecided man, whose every action and throught seem to drive us towards the conclusion: He is mad.
Or is he?

Hypothetical situation coming up!
One of your pet goldfish died yesterday. It hasn't been too long since little Jimmy went to goldfish heaven (as in, the sewers). Then, one day, when you come back from school, you see Jimmy, floating in the air, glowing bright green. Jimmy then tells you that Timmy, the fish next door, snuck into the house and poured boiling water into the fishbowl, so that he could make out with your other goldfish, Wendy. He asks you to avenge him, and then disappears. You think you might be hallucinating, but then you look back, and see your mom, who also tells you that she saw the same thing. Something doesn't really add up here, but whatever. There are more important matters! To think that Timmy is now making out with Wendy... That's horrible!

...and that is how Hamlet felt.
Hamlet isn't crazy. He's just been going through something that, hopefully, no one else had even gone through. Therefore, his actions and thoughts are not ones that you would see usually, and this leads us to think that he is insane.
If a person came and told you that he saw a flying purple highlighter pen with eyes as big as whales and apple-sized oreos falling out of its tip, you would either think it's a joke, or that the person is crazy. 'Highlighters can't be purple!' you'd think.
Now, what if the same story was told, but through the news, and scientists all around the world have proven that this is very possible, you wouldn't say anything about it. In fact, you might believe in the story yourself.

Get it? 'Play'? Hahaha, oh, I really need to stop this.

How about this: define 'crazy'.
Basically, 'crazy' in our society is a nonconformist that went a bit too far.
In other 'normal' peoples' terms, Hamlet is crazy, but there is no way to tell whether he actually is. 'Crazy' is just another man-made idea. Taking into consideration his rather unique turn of events in life and all the burdens he has been given to take till the end, it is no wonder that he is 'crazy'. But the fact that he is still human makes him 'normal'. Much more 'normal' than most of YOU PEOPLE reading this right now.
Who spends his/her time reading someone else's response to Hamlet? Hahahaha. Haha. Ha...

But seriously, to be honest, Hamlet seems a bit cra- um, different.
