Exstacy and Madness-Hamlet Act 3

Act three is the climax of the play as all of Shakespeare's play are written. In act three the is the first death, the death of Polonius. Polonius is killed while he is trying to listen to the conversation between Hamlet and his mother. The theme of death has been put on hold since before the play started as the king was killed before the first act. In this play I think the themes of madness and death overlap each other. As the madness increases, the deaths increase. The madness and death started with the Claudius's madness to become king which ended in death. The madness of war began before as well which resulted in more death, even the death of King Fortinbras. As we watch Hamlet throughout the last three scenes we see him pretending to be mad to fool everyone. But in act three as I was reading I saw less and less of Hamlet trying to deceive and more of Hamlet jut being crazy and me not understanding his intentions. With his killing of Polonius I saw that as an act of Hamlet, not an act of him trying to be crazy. Of what I know of him from the first act he doesn't strike me as a type to kill someone even if they were caught listening into royal conversations.
