Detailed explanation-2: -“How strange or odd soe’er I bear myself (As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on)” Act. 1 Sc. 5-Hamlet would pin this quote in order to remind himself that he must hold an antic disposition. He must not tell a single person that he is actually not crazy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet puts on an antic disposition for two reasons. The first was to cover up his revenge. The second was to ensure that people thought he was crazy, so he would not be held responsible for his actions.
