Hmm...well IMHO Written by BarbaraK (6/10/2003 5:13 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: Hamlet-just how crazy is he?, penned by Jezkalyn

] It seems to me that one of the questions any director of Hamlet must answer for themselves is, exactly how nuts is Hamlet? Once that level of inasanity is set, the question is, when does he go truly wacko, if at all? How this question is answered will greatly influence how we feel about Hamlet as well as the events of the play.

I tend to agree that he is only pretending to be crazy, even after hearing of Claudius's decit, however I think that his fling with Ophelia didn't help keep him in his right mind either, especially after she dies. (I keep hoping they'll be happy, get married, etc. etc.)
