“Though this is madness, yet there be method to it.”

Claudius says this about Hamlet who had just gotten mad at Ophelia for no apparent reason.

I think when Claudius says this he means that even when Hamlet looks completely insane he does have a reason behind why he’s doing what he is. I think this applies to the world today because there is always a meaning to everything a person says and does even if you don’t quite understand what it is at first. I think we need to try to find out why a person may be acting crazy because then we can try and solve the problem. Instead of just using “they’re crazy” as an excuse as to why we can’t help them. There is always a reason why people are doing what they do and we shouldn’t just overlook those things.
