Hamlet Stress Test

Based on the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Test and Online Stress Test the results

for Hamlet show signs that he is very stressed, anxious, and somewhat depressed. Hamlet

could say that he is pretending to be crazy but in reality is probably nearing actual insanity. He

is considered under a lot of stress based on his family changing and his relocation from college.

The obvious pointer to him becoming crazy is the fact that he can not only see but speak to his

fathers ghost and plans to kill his uncle. As a king, killing his uncle would be an act of treason

and show how irrational he has become and possibly be a sign that he does not have reasoning

skills and may make bad decisions once he becomes king. In general its also difficult for

someone to handle a parents remarriage so it is understandable that Hamlet is unsure of these

events taking place. Most of the animosity towards Claudius seems to be based on the murder

of his father.
