Detailed explanation-1: -Meaning of hamlet in English hamlet. noun [ C ] /ˈhæm.lət/ uk. /ˈhæm.lət/ a small village, usually without a church.
Detailed explanation-2: -Despite the evidence that Hamlet actually is mad, we also see substantial evidence that he is just pretending. The most obvious evidence is that Hamlet himself says he is going to pretend to be mad, suggesting he is at least sane enough to be able to tell the difference between disordered and rational behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -English adopted “hamlet” in the 1300s from Old French, where hamelet was a diminutive of hamel (village), according to the Chambers Dictionary of Etymology. Chambers notes that hamel itself was a diminutive of ham, a word for home in many old Germanic languages, including Old English.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet is not a true story. It is a work of fiction inspired by the tale of the mediaeval Danish ruler, Amleth, from Gesta Danorum a 1200 AD history of Denmark by historian Saxo Grammaticus.
