At first, He merely feigns it to plot his revenge on the "smiling damned villain" Claudius. There is a "method in his madness", that is while he works out how he can wreak his vengeance. However, this question appears when he first starts hallucinating within his mother's chambers when he berates her for marrying his uncle. The exact incident is that he is in the middle of berating his mother, when he looks up and "Sees" the ghost of his father, however, his mother does not. This raises the question that is being asked. In short, nobody has proven or disproven is insanity, and it may not be possible to.

∙ 11y agoThis is one of those questions that people can argue on and on about incessantly. Hamlet at many points says that the madness is to be an act, "I shall think meet to put an antic disposition on", "I am but mad north-northwest; when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw", "I essentially am not in madness, but mad in craft." But can we believe him? His behaviour is so weird sometimes that it is hard to believe that he is not crazy.

What is the purpose of including the subplot of Hamlet and Ophelia's romance?
The degree of relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia is quite unknown to the reader, although it is somewhat suggested in the text that they were, in fact, together. This subplot shows that when Hamlet pretends to be - or actually does become - insane that it effects Ophelia on a very deep level. The rejection Ophelia is given by Hamlet sends her into insanity - and in the end suicide. This is an aspect of irony, something Shakespeare liked to use in his work. By pretending to be insane, Hamlet causes Ophelia to actually become insane - a type of casualty caused by Hamlet's need to know the truth about his father's death.
