Detailed explanation-1: -When the Ghost tells Hamlet about Claudius’s murder, Hamlet responds strangely: he tells his friend Horatio and the watchman Marcellus that he is going to pretend to be mad.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the scenes in which Hamlet pretends to be a mad man is when he speaks to Ophelia in her room. This allowed him to convince people that he is crazy because of his love for her. He suspected Ophelia to describe the incident to her father and the king.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
