Hamlet has gone beyond mad when I encountered him today. He has no recognition of me. When asked if he knew who I was, he replied that I was a fishmonger and when told I was not then he replied “ then I would you were so honest a man” which I don’t think is as mad as what he said next, when I agree that honest men are picked out of ten thousand, he just begins to say “for if the sun breed maggots in a dead dog, being a good kissing carrion” and after that that he how I know he is mad because when he asked if I had a daughter and I replied yes, he begins to say that she is going to get pregnant, for which I know my daughter would not do, so this has given me the proof that he has gone mad because of my daughter Gertrude rejection, but this is normal for a young man like Hamlet, but I feel that all young men have acted very close to this behavior but then he is acting a bit more crazier then others also. He might have never been rejected and now that he has been rejected he is now going to hold on to the person and go mad because he cant have her. When asked what he was reading, he replies that he is reading false reports and also old men but what I thought was mad was he considers himself a old man and I a young man. Which I feel that he was trying to insult me in whichever way possible, I feel he is mad but I also think he is a mad fool.
