I like Hamlets plan to get everyone to think and know that he is crazy. The fact that he knows that Polonius is going to spread the news that Hamlet has gone crazy is a creative and an ingenious idea. Hamlet knows that also his mother and his uncle are now going to try to blame the fact that the reason he has gone crazy is over the death of his father. But little do his mother and uncle know that this is a plot to break them up and to eventually reveal that his uncle is the killer of his father. Also this crazy state that Hamlet has fallen into will give him the freedom to do what ever he wants. For example when Hamlet calls Polonius a "Fishmonger", Polonius does not take this as a major insult because he thinks that Hamlet is going crazy and does not know what he is saying. So now that Polonius did not take this insult seriously, I predict that Hamlet is going to do something that would not be approved in that society but the people are going to shake it off because they think he is crazy and does not know what he is talking about or what he is doing.
