Hamlet's life was a series of tormenting events, and while highly intelligent, he was also becoming unstable. At first, Hamlet pretended to be mad, to try to fool people into thinking he was harmless. But as he got more into the role, he adopted it more fully, especially after he saw the effect on Ophelia and other people that he loved. He probably descended into actual madness after her death.
