Hamlet’s encounter in the woods reveals a new side to his character. Hamlet’s meeting with his father’s ghost leaves him unsettled and troubled. He is shocked by what his “father’s” ghost tells him of, and instantly Hamlet feels a desire to avenge his father’s death. Hamlet then behaves in a manner contrary to his usual demeanor. Those who surround him become concerned with his thought to be insanity. They make a plan to discover the meaning behind his cryptic behavior. I think that Hamlet’s madness is a cover for his desire to reveal the truth of his father’s death. I do not understand though why he would want to be perceived as if he had lost his mind to the people closest to him. I think it is just a plan to reveal his uncle's true intentions.
