Hamlet is straight up crazy. As if Hamlets life wasn't bad enough in the beginning of the story with his father dying, he sees a ghost, which make me think I'm crazy, he starts talking to the ghost and finds out that it is his father and that he was murdered. I think those two events could make even the most stable minded person go crazy. Then, he goes and makes it worse by acting crazy. You just can't do that. I think the acting crazy part is what made him go fully crazy. What's even worse is that the people around him know he is going crazy, but they don't try to help him at all.
The fact that Hamlet won't do anything to the king is making me lose even more faith in him. He's going around making a fool of himself in front of all of his friends to try to kill the king for murdering his father, but when he has a chance to he doesn't, and when he tries to, he kills the wrong person. If I was Hamlet after those two incidents, I would start to believe that fate doesn't want the king to die and would stop right there and confess that I was only acting crazy.
What's Hamlets deal with Ophelia? In act one, he grabs her and confesses his love for her, but a couple acts later, when she is all over him, he doesn't want anything to do with her. Instead of taking the oppurtinity to get the girl that he loves, he pushes her away, and it really confuses me. I don't know if he is doing it to protect her for when he kills the king, or actually doesn't love her anymore.
