Notes on Hamlet

     At the beginning of the play, I got the sense that Hamlet was extremely indecisive and crazy.  Now I'm beginning to think that this is all just a strategy of his.  He seems more now like an extremely analytical person who weighs every option before acting on his decision.  You can't be mad to possess this sort of self-control.  I also have realized that he is a very loyal person.  Upset that everyone seems to have forgotten that his father died not that long ago, he has taken great measures to let everyone see the pain he feels about them moving on as if his father never existed.  From here, I can see Hamlet plotting on the perfect moment to kill Claudius, and of course following through with this plan.
