Shakespeare leaves the madness of Hamlet to the mind of the audience; you can read it either way. If he is mad (as in "insane"), it is a madness with a purpose. At any rate, it would be a curious sort of madness that depended on the winds.

"it means that although some chaos is going on in whatever the situation, someone is planning it, or here was a plan behind it" The above is incorrect.This is a Shakespeare quote spoken by Polonius to young Hamlet. In this scene Halmet is acting mad and while spurting "insane" words, he succeeds in slipping in insults toward Polonius. He is essentially pointing out that although Hamlet appears mad, he can tell that he was previously mocking him amongst the seemingly insane words. Because it is spoken by Polonius and not Hamlet, there is no intended underlying meaning. It means simply that he acknowledges he's been insulted amidst an "insane" rant. For those of you who wish to take it out of context and bring meaning to it, so be it; however, it's actual meaning is simply this.

What does Hamlet mean in this quote you are but mad north northwest?
After Hamlet has discovered that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are false friends who are acting on behalf of King Claudius, Hamlet tells the two that he knows that the King thinks he is mad, and says, "I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw" (2.2.378-9). Literally, Hamlet is saying he is mad only when the wind blows in one particular point of the compass, north-north-west. In other words, he is mad only at certain times, or in certain situations. If sanity can be metaphorically identified with a compass that points true north, then Hamlet is playing with the trope here, saying that his supposed madness is only a little bit crazy; he is not too far off the mark. Polonius himself observes that Hamlet's apparent mad statements have some "method"; he isn't allowing himself to stray very far from his true intentions, even when he is sorely pressed to do so. Probably his craziest moments are immediately after the Ghost's revelation in Act I when Horatio and Marcellus speak with him.
Is Gertrude protecting Hamlet when she says he is mad (4.1.7) or does she believe that he is mad If she believes he is mad does it follow that she no longer feels ashamed and guilty?
Gertrude's response about Hamlet's madness can be interpreted in various ways. She may be trying to protect Hamlet from harm or trying to divert attention away from his potential danger. It is unclear whether she genuinely believes he is mad. If she does believe he is mad, it does not necessarily mean that she no longer feels ashamed or guilty about her actions, as those emotions can exist independently of her perceptions of Hamlet's mental state.
