THOUGHTS ON HAMLET (IN PROGRESS)

• Hamlet is cold, calculating, and ruthless. At the begining of the play, I thought he was actually either in love with Ophelia or just straight up of his rocker. As the play progressed, though, the little pieces began to fall into place and expose the true Hamlet, who may be crazy, but is also cunning and shrewd.
• Hamlet does not act out of impulse. He restrains himself and acts weighs all his options before doing anything (as seen from his refrain of killing Claudius when he is praying).
• The amount of subplots add to the complexity of the play. 
• Pretty much everyone but Hamlet is oblivious to the wrong and injustice that is occurring in the play (ie his uncle murdering his dad and then marrying his mom). Perhaps that is why only Hamlet can view the ghost....
• Revenge is slowly driving Hamlet insane. He is obsessed with getting revenge.
• I predict that Hamlet will get his revenge, but at the cost of his own life and/or sanity.
