Scene i and ii response

Philosophy is key within these scenes. Hamlet debates why someone would avoid suicide and concludes we are afraid of the unknown. Also, when Claudius leaves the players's presentation, I would conclude that this ghost hamlet saw was not a hallucination. If it is, Hamlet is truly going crazy and it would point to that it was coincidence that Claudius just walked out. It just does not make sense that Claudius would have stomach flu at the exact same that the potential murder he committed appeared on stage in front of his whole kingdom. Also, what is Hamlet doing to Ophelia? Does he totally want her? I think he might be insane. Have a good weekend MJ.
