Appearance vs Reality

Hamlet epitomizes appearance vs. reality. Hamlet is in reality not crazy and is planning to kill Claudius; however, he appears as a mad man. Hamlet seems to have shaped into a crazy man. Hamlet is constantly acting insane and saying crazy things. Hamlet always rants on and is always speaking nonsense. Everyone then assumes that Hamlet is crazy. In reality, Hamlet is acting and he is not truly crazy and insane. Hamlet is putting on a show to get closer to killing Claudius. Hamlet's ultimate goal is to kill Claudius. Hamlet is set out to kill and throughout the whole play he is taking a baby's step towards killing Claudius. Nonetheless, Hamlet seems to have intertwined between both appearance and reality. Hamlet seems to be really crazy and looks as if he has strayed from his path to kill Claudius. Hamlet became a philosopher and would always just ask questions instead of just doing something.
