In history, there have been many people who were thought to be crazy when they proposed an idea that challenged the beliefs of the people. Galileo was charged for the heresy by proposing that the Earth revolved around the sun when everyone believed that the sun revolved around the earth. He was sentenced to death, but technology proves Galileo's claim making him the one who is correct. In a similar way, Hamlet acts according to his own logic and reasoning, making others question his sanity because they do not accept his actions. Hamlet is in fact the only character in the play who does not display regret in his actions because he believes that what he is doing is justified, other characters are plagued by the guilt and regret of their past actions in order to appease what is acceptable for them. This makes each character fight for what they believe in, no matter what judgement people will give back.
