Notes On Hamlet

At the beginning of the play I felt that all of the characters were pretentious liars in thirst for power. While I still know that is true, I have learned what lengths they will go to achieve these goals. Claudius for example killed his own brother, and Gertrude not only betrayed her dead husband, but also her own son. I don't blame Hamlet for going crazy. Every single person in his life has betrayed him. I'm not really sure if I believe that Hamlet actually sees his father's ghost. It is possible that he has just gone crazy, which is completely understandable.
