Seamus Smith's Act III blog post

Hamlets behavior is crazy throughout the play because he is still getting over the death of a loved one. He goes through mixed emotions and obviously anger is a common one.  Hamlet feels he has to take vengeance over his father’s murder but does not have the rite mindset to kill somebody. He has been lied to and fooled over and over again in the play; there are a lot of characters that are up to no good and not honest.  In the play there is at most two characters who are good people and care about their own effect on other people, in general no one cares about each other and are only trying to trick each other. Hamlet knows that he has been deceived by people he once trusted and I think that he is confused about whom he can trust any more, his uncle killed his dad and he does not like his mother. The girl he thought he loved is dishonest to him and then kills herself. He cannot kill because he is confused about who is who and week with insecurity. Also, Hamlets personality is not of a killer. He gets pushed around and becomes angry but never fights back.
