Is Hamlet mad? Well FIRST, we need to first ask ourselves is the ghost even real? The ghost is the beginning of the end for Hamlet and unless we can answer this question, we can't look at Hamlet's actions to see if he is mad... or just a method actor. So join me! We’ll talk about Amleth (nope, not a misspelling, just the story Hamlet is based off) and I’ll tell you why Ophelia’s story breaks my heart.
