Tragedy in Hamlet: Acts 2 & most of 3

Act 2
Tragedy is first established in this act with Ophelia; she believes her love has gone completely insane which worries and upsets her greatly. (he stood in her chamber with his trousers at his ankles). Although it is meant that Hamlet is faking lunacy noone really knows this factor so trully believe that he is mental.... however tragedy has efeected hamlet in such a way that in truth it can be argued his mad behaviour isnt actually false.He's still constantly lingering on this death;he cannot move past it so to what extent has he progressed... has he perhaps regessed?

Act 3
In Hamlets soliloquy he again questions life " To be or not to be, that is the question". He is dwelling too much on things & thoughts that may lead to a constant regret and guilt, however these thoughts are a philosphical perspective which should be expected from him since he is a philossphy student. he is pent up on taking revenge and is focusing on it so much that he is losing himself in a way, the tragedy is eating away at him and he feels a coward for thinking on it too much; he is not his father though, he isnt a warrior he is a thinker so is he being too hard on himself? is he strong enough to accomplish his task?
he then talks with Ophelia and causes more turmoil for her as he breaks her heart by insulting and degrading her by saying " i loved thee not" and " take thee to a nunnery". there are a few possible reasons behind this behaviousr though: 1. he loves her so much he wants to get her way from Denmark to protect her and keep her from oncoming harm ( either the revenge for his father or possibly from him because he know this tragedy is forming him into a new person and he feels as if he will hurt her grealy in the future) 2. he is suspicious of eavesdroppers so may be trying to fool them with lunacy ( but has the tragic news actually started to make him mad).  Hamlet is still unable to move on and healthily process this loss like everyone else, he is bent on revenge. tragedy has become the basis of him now and he needs to kill Claudius to maybe move on.

Because of the one tragic event and the spreading of hurt has developed into a major dramtic plot. All life has changed for every character, previous allies like Guildenstein and Rosencratz have become untrustworthy and disloyal, Hamlet has lost friends and respect from everyone, Claudius is decietful and evil ( bad traits for a king), now no love or relationship with his mother, ruined his chances of a future happiness with Ophelia and there is no order over Denmark...... everything is falling to tatters which has caused major drama!
