 Re: what is the meaning of "Hamlet" ?
Also Hamlet was not mad. Deeply saddened and disturbed, he was, which is understandable in the context of the situation. He feigned madness: as Polonious said of him (and a great idiom that I use about myself when i address my students), "there is method in his madness".*
Shakespeare is responsible for a great majority of idioms in our language. |
