Madness in Hamlet
- "You are a fishmonger"
- "words, words, words"
- "If like a crab you
could go
backwards"
- "Though this be madness,
yet there is method in't."
- "They say the owl was a bakers
daughter" "To be your
valentine"
- "There's fennel for you, and
columbines...rue for you" "There's a
daisy" "I would give you some violets, but
they withered all when my father died"
- "There's fennel for you, and
columbines...rue for you" "There's a
daisy" "I would give you some violets, but
they withered all when my father died"
- "As if he had been loosed out
of hell to speak of horrors"
- Unnatural behaviour,
his appearance reflects
his grief.
- In disorder. Not
conforming to the roles
of a prince, his
outburst of grief and
anger.
- In disorder. Not

- "Mad for thy love? My lord I
do not know, but truly I do
fear it. "
- Suggests that Hamlet had
gone mad because of the
actions of Polonius in
keeping him and Ophelia
apart.
- Suggests that Hamlet had
gone mad because of the
actions of Polonius in
keeping him and Ophelia
apart.
- Associating his behaviour
with hell suggests that he
was 'controlled by the
devil'- Elizabethan belief.
- Links to the idea
that madness is
caused by
possession.
- Hamlet was so wild and
incomprehensible that Ophelia
could only compare his
behaviour to a demon escaped
from hell to deliver some evil
message.
- Ophelia and Polonius interpret Hamlet's
wild behaviour as a symptom of his love
for her. The audience, however, is privy
to a more likely explanation: Hamlet
does have horrors from hell to speak off-
his fathers murder and his ghost coming
to earth asking for revenge.
- Unnatural behaviour,
his appearance reflects
his grief.
