Thoughts on Hamlet (in progress)

In the beginning of the play, I just thought Hamlet was a confused dude with no sense of who he was or what he wanted. I saw him as a crazy guy who saw his dad's ghost. But as the play shifted from toying imagination to real life occurrences and situations, I came to realize that Shakespeare was intending the change our perspectives of the characters along the way. Hamlet really is right about his evil uncle, he really can see his father's ghost, and he really isn't insane; it was all an act!
