Hamlet: A Sane Man          Hamlet was without a doubt a rational man. He was just faking frenzy to further his own arrangements for retribution. His words were so cunningly built that others will see him as mad.  It is this steady cunning that is a definitive proof of his total rational soundness. Will a distraught individual be so sharp?
