Detailed explanation-1: -As Polonius says in Act II, “Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t” (109). The reason Hamlet is pretending to be insane is to exact revenge against his father’s murderer, the King. He is aware that the King will be concerned about his behavior and he is right.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet faked his madness at the beginning of the play for the sake of revenge for his father.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet’s most mad-seeming outburst, against Ophelia, may be explained by the fact that Claudius and Polonius are spying on the conversation: if Hamlet suspects that he’s being spied on, he may be acting more deranged than he really is for the benefit of his listeners.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
