Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Write on the Theme of Sanity vs. Madness
Choose a position about Hamlet’s mental state and create a position paper that supports your opinion.
Position 1: Hamlet’s actions throughout the play are an authentic representation of his mental state of madness.
Position 2: Hamlet’s actions throughout the play are false and are used to trick others into thinking he is mad, when in reality, his mental state is one of sanity.
You will be choosing one of these positions as your position that you believe, but both sides of the argument have to be presented in the paper.
Make sure you include all elements within your position paper.
1. Introduction
