Notes on Hamlet

In Hamlet  I seen a great character change in Hamlet. In the start of the play he was mournful of his father's death. After the visit from the ghost, Hamlet isn't mournful and wants revenge. He begins to mentally struggle with everything, and others see him him as insane. He talks of death and thinks it may be better at one point. He starts to lash out at others and not trust others. At first he wasn't sure his uncle was guilty and wanted to make sure. Once he was positive he sets out to kill him. A mistake he made is when Hamlet thought Claudius was hiding in his mother's room and satbs him but it was really Polonius. This is the point where everyone will believe he is insane.

I almost believe Hamlet is going mad, in trying to kill his Uncle. He wants to kill him perfectly when he is sinning, so he won't go to heaven. He is planning more things out, in the end I think Hamlet mental struggles will only get worse and destroy him in the end. After seeing Hamlet not hesitate in trying to kill the king but accidently killing Polonius. I see Hamlet killing his Uncle, Hamlet is at the point of no return and will stop at nothing for revenge for his father.
