THOUGHTS ON HAMLET (IN PROGRESS)

In the beginning of the play, I sympathized with Hamlet because he was so grief stricken by his father's death and disgusted by his mother's quick marriage to his uncle, the new king.  By the end of Act III, however, I am sympathizing less and less with Hamlet because he is either driving himself insane with revenge on King Claudius or he is self-sabotaging by pushing away those who had little to do with his father's murder, like Ophelia and his mother, Queen Gertrude.  I will accredit Hamlet, though, with being very perceptive because of the way that he inferred Rosencraz and Guildenstern were visiting under orders from the king and queen and not simply to see their friend Hamlet.  Unfortunately, I don't see things going too well from here.  I know its a tragedy and with tragedy comes death.  I believe that Hamlet's revenge on Claudius will somehow backfire and Hamlet's unbridled craziness and his convolution of thoughts will lead to his demise.
