Detailed explanation-1: -Polonius says that Hamlet must be mad with his love for Ophelia, for she has distanced herself from him ever since Polonius ordered her to do so. Polonius speculates that this lovesickness might be the cause of Hamlet’s moodiness, and he hurries out to tell Claudius of his idea.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Hamlet encounters his Father death, he becomes obsessed with death itself. He begins to wonder if suicide is the answer to end his suffering. In the play, hamlet says “O, that this too sullied flesh would melt, Thaw and resolve itself into a dew”(I. ii.
Detailed explanation-3: -After Hamlet’s conversation with his father’s ghost in which Hamlet was told that his father was murdered by Claudius, he became filled with even more grief because he has a difficult duty of killing his uncle in order to avenge his father’s death. This is seen in the “to be or not to be” soliloquy.
Detailed explanation-4: -The King of Denmark has died and his wife, Gertrude, has married his brother, Claudius. The king’s son Hamlet has come home to Elsinore for his father’s funeral.
Detailed explanation-5: -All these are depressive symptoms and he has experienced events likely to precipitate depression: his father’s sudden death, his mother’s hasty marriage, and his disappointment in the succession. Hamlet is not just a typical Elizabethan melancholy man.
