Hamlet – an Insane ManEssay title: Hamlet – an Insane ManWithout any doubt Prince Hamlet is insane towards the end of his life. This is further exposed throughout Hamlet’s soliloquy. The theme death, his suicidal thoughts and exaggeration of the imperfect world are all techniques which illustrate his insanity.
Hamlet is an insane man, especially in his soliloquy. The theme of death expresses his insanity. Throughout Hamlet’s soliloquy he mentions items which relate to death. For example, “With a bare bodkin?” This shows that he suggests killing himself with a bare dagger. He also states “To die, to sleep- no more- and by a sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.” This simply means that Hamlet desires to end the suffering of his life. Therefore, this clearly shows that Hamlet is terribly insane because of the associations with death, which plays a major theme in Hamlet’s soliloquy.
Another technique that is used to portray his insanity is through his suicidal thoughts. Throughout his soliloquy, Hamlet carries suicidal thoughts in his mind. For example, Hamlet states “To be or not to be, that is the question” this shows that he is insane because the quote means questioning rather to live or not to live. This shows that Hamlet carries suicidal thoughts as Hamlet is contemplating rather to end his life or not. The soliloquy also illustrates that Hamlet is insane because he takes life as a minor thing and does not treasure it and is uncertain whether to live or not to live. Consequently, it is evident that Hamlet carries suicidal thoughts, which significantly shows that Hamlet is an insane man.
The quote in this passage which suggests that Hamlet is an insane man is also a reference to the quote of Paul “the apostle” Gaddis in Acts 1 which is, “In your day thou shalt be dead; and all thy enemies shall have my blood. I am the Lord your God.”
Some have argued that this quote also indicates that Hamlet is suicidal. However these issues remain moot.
In reality, the quote is just a reference to the statement by Gen. of Israel Isaac David:
He is as God’s Son (Isaiah 1:18)? But the question is, where are the prophecies? He is the Son of God and of the Kingdom of God! To this we must ask the question: If Hamlet is an insane man, is it because of this quote that he can never be called to live and that he must be a living God? That is why the quote is so far from his original meaning. This is an illustration of the problem of believing in God and the Bible in a particular way. And the passage itself, which is directly quoted in Leviticus 21:10, does not help either.
The only way is to simply compare what the quote says and how Isaiah and the other prophets dealt with Hamlet to understand what it means to be an insane man to be considered an insane man. Thus, Hamlet’s quote gives a different impression than the view expressed by Isaiah and other prophets in the Torah.
A major difference about this passage lies in how it describes Hamlet’s personality and personality trait. In particular the sentence states, that Hamlet is insane because he is so sure that that he can never be called to live and that he must be a living God. However, if that is the case, Hamlet’s personality is more accurate than the view of Isaiah and his prophets which states that the only way to describe Hamlet to us is to say that he is an insane man, such as the statement that “Every man is not an idiot, every fool is an idiot, every man is his own thing.” (Isaiah 11:29). This is the view expressed in both Isaiah and John.
The other issue relates to the role Hamlet was to play in Isaiah’s prophecy. When Isaiah says that “the Messiah shall come, and I will take him among his people” (Genesis 22:14), what does this mean? Well, that is the meaning from Isaiah. And Isaiah states, “And in such thou shalt build a temple to Abraham; and thou shalt see the living God and the dead God and the departed God, and the ungodly gods and no-goodness to God, that shall be the end of everything” (Isaiah 41:2).

Additionally to Hamlet’s unwillingness to live, Hamlet frequently uses exaggeration to emphasise his view of the imperfect world.
