Although Hamlet appears to be insane he is nothing but a very smart and manipulative individual. After his father's ghosts visit Hamlet is shocked to have learned about his uncle's Claudius's actions. Actions which make Hamlet question his uncle. He does this to show us that he is thinking about his father and Claudius to see if there is a link between the two and his father's death. He turns against the most important women in his life and ironically he ends up blaming his own mother by accusing her to being a part of the evil plot that resulted in his father's death. These women are shown to us through Hamlet's point of view where his thoughts and opinions of them play a big part when it comes to our opinions of them as these women are generally known to be "in the margins  of their society. I believe this helps us to learn about the false façade he is putting up to make everyone believe that the women are weak and are not intelligent enough to have a voice of their own. This categorizes the women as the people who fit between "the margins of our society  Although Hamlet has appeared mad throughout the play it isn't until soliloquy six that we learn about his missed opportunities to avenge his father and that from now on, all he will think about is revenge because he has come to terms with himself that with all the things at his disposal, he is to use them. One of these things that are of "his disposal  is Ophelia. We learn that Ophelia's character is dependent on whether she is being looked at by a Shakespearean or modern audience. What makes her character particularly interesting is how she goes about things, for example, her response to her brother suggesting that he is "like a puffed and reckless libertine  which could be seen as a gutsy response as she is referring to his sex life suggesting that it is hypocritical of him to talk about her and to not approve of her relationship with Hamlet.
