Sometimes losing a loved one can harm a person mentally, emotionally and physically. In William Shakespeare's “Hamlet,” the question of whether Hamlet is mad or not is often raised. Hamlet is a very complex character, but the emotion expressed with his father's death, the way he communicates, and his actions express how he is going mad after his father's death. The sign that Hamlet is mad is constantly shown throughout the poem. Shakespeare describes Hamlet's character as grieving at the beginning of the book, but throughout the poem the author helps understand that Hamlet is mad because of the way he expresses the pain he feels. he is going through, the way he acts after seeing his father's ghost, while Hamlet was talking to his mother, he heard a noise behind the curtains and made a sudden move by stabbing him. The queen addresses this as a "rash and bloody deed" (lll.iv.28), but Hamlet does not consider it as bad as what he did to his father. As a result, Hamlet acts truly mad because he does not express a human reaction to what he has done. Instead he talked about his mother, which shows a crazy side of Hamlet. When the king questions Hamlet about Polonius' death and asks him where he is, Hamlet has a very strange answer. Hamlet tells the king that Polonius is “at dinner” (IV.iii.17), “not where he eats, but where 'a is eaten” (IV.iii.19). As Hamlet addresses the king, it makes no sense why Polonius is dead, behind the curtain, but Hamlet states that he is at dinner and this shows that Hamlet is losing his mind. When Hamlet receives the news of Ophelia's death, he runs to her tomb where he meets Laertes, her brother. As they argue, Hamlet describes his love for Ophelia by addressing “forty thousand brothers/Count no, with all their quantity of love,/Make my sum” (Vi255-257). Contrary to all of Hamlet's past interactions with Ophelia, he admits that he loves her, but throughout the poem he shows one that does not. He is showing that he is going crazy because of the indirect affection he shows. The actions of Polonius' death, Ophelia and the responses to the deaths demonstrate how Hamlet truly is
