The family dynamic in Hamlet is a lot different than the family dynamic now. Families in Hamlet’s time are knitted closer than families now. The relationship between Hamlet and his mother is a very strong one, a lot stronger than the relationship I have with my mom. Hamlet and I both lost our father that must be a big reason he is so close with his mom… She is really the only one he has left. Hamlet’s relationship with his mom is something that I wish I had.

He flipped out and just about strangled his mom, even though his mom really doesn’t have the power to do anything it. If I were Hamlet’s mom I would of done something….

In my opinion , I think that Hamlet was more On the mad side wether than being insane. Of course he saw a ghost and was acting completely out of hand about his fathers death, it was all just an act ! He seemed Insane to everyone else because once he figured out who actually killed his father he felt the need to get payback . He is Keeping this idea away from everyone so that he could see if he wants to actually Seek revenge and how would he do that . Remember now…
