Question #7 and 14

7. I believe that Hamlet delibrately puts on an "antic" disposition in order to see if he is being spyed on. His bipolar actions give incite into a possible jokester attitude.
14. I feel like this statement highlights Hamlet's state of confusion, especially considering all the events and tradegies he has had to experience, i.e. his father's death and mother's remarrying Claudius. However, I also feel like Hamlet could be putting on a show and acting, so that he displays an artifical public self. I feel like Hamlet feels insecure and that he needs to act in order to see if people are being truthful to him. At the same time, he seems to be traumatized by all that is occuring.
