All the struggles that Hamlet has gone through is enough to make him crazy. However, if I was in his position, I wouldn't go crazy. First, I might get a bit confused & dizzy from what is going on, but then, I would grab my senses & take charge of what I would have to do, get revenge.

I think Hamlet is too weak, such like a litter child. He didn't prove the evidences, just believe in the ghost. I think he is kind of a rash people.

I think if a normal person facing a problem that his uncle kill his father and marry his mother would get mad quickly. His madness could be justifyed under such an event. If I were him, I woud also go to mad and act like him.

If other people put the responsibility to Claudius, he can justify what he is doing. If other people say everything is because of Claudius, that's why he got crazy, it will be true.

Hamlet’s madness can be justified. At the beginning of the story, Hamlet could not overcome his sadness of his father’s death, and he could not mourn because Claudius forbids him to do so. Also, his mother abandoned her love of dead husband and married to Claudius. After these events, Hamlet started to dislike the society. When the ghost claiming to be his dead father told Hamlet that he was killed by Claudius, Hamlet decided to avenge his father’s death. These events are so shocking to Hamlet that he cannot accept them.

I believe that Hamlet's behavior is unjustifiable and it is not acceptable. I believe he has no right to kill Claudius or Polonius. Even though he was so mad, he shouldn't kill others. For instance, what was Polonius's fault? He was just helping Claudius out as a servant. What was Ophelia's fault to lose his father? I understand that Hamlet was really mad about the murder of his father, he shouldn't have bothered others.
He has no right to kill others because if he murders, Hamlet is becoming like Claudius, whom he loathes the most because Claudius killed his brother as well. Hamlet shouldn't also pretend to be crazy because I think that is cowardice. He should've explicitly said why he was mad and how he could solve it. At least Claudius should know why he was being killed, right? Also telling Claudius his fault is good for Hamlet as well because he is accomplishing his goal, to avenge his uncle for his fault. If Claudius doesn't know why he was killed, there will be no point in killing Claudius.

the loss of a family member could be traumatizing for Hamlet, however it is not a justifiable act to trust a ghost and murder Claudius. After all, there is absolutely no proof or witness for the murder; therefore blaming Claudius could be simply the result of Hamlet's madness or mental illness. Unless this play contains supernatural aspects, the conversation Hamlet had with the ghost shouldn't occur.

Hamlet isn't mad in fact and as we discussed in class, he's lucid. It's all his plan to act madly so that others don't recognize his plan to take a revenge against Claudius. But if I were Hamlet by the way, I would be pretty mad. But Hamlet's madness is rather fake and therefore might not be justified since Hamlet is basically lying and using others, including Ophelia.

Yes Hamlet's madness can be justified. He has been through a lot of crap and when Hamlet's father came up, he just couldn't bottle himself anymore.

I think yes, and if I were him, I would get mad like him, too. It should be really hard to see that his mom getting married to his uncle right after his father's death. Also the ghost should really confused him. In this circumstance, I think his madness can be justified.

I think that I wouldn't go crazy because people might lose something precious to them, but I believe that people are more stronger than someone like Hamlet, who gets corrupted really quickly.

I understand that Hamlet used such violent method to pay for his father's death, but when we see his actions from a modern perspective, they cannot be justified. Revenge for revenge causes more revenge, and Hamlet could have found a way that is more peaceful and just, like letting the law fall judgement of Claudius. But I don't think there was a proper law back then so oh well..

I think yes and Mr.Edward told us that actually Hamlet acts like he is madness because he wants to find the truth so I think hie madness can be justified.
