Other than Hamlet's Sanity/ Insanity, what are some other contradicting areas of the plot that I could examine? I normally don't have this problem, but I'm really stuck on this one! This is for my ACC English class. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Example: Hamlet shows all signs of craziness, yet he supposedly plans to be crazy. He kills Polonius thinking he is Cornelius, but did he plan to do it, or was he in a crazy rage? In class, we determined that crazy people do not plan, so it is a contradiction in itself that makes us unable to determine whether Hamlet is really crazy, or just pretending. I'm looking for something else that contradicts itself.

Hamlet loves death, yet loves life. Ponders suicide, but tricks Rosen and Gilden to their death rather then die, then embraces death in the form of Yorick.
