Proof Of Hamlet's Balanced Mind
After finding Claudius guilty and murderer of his father through his skillful ‘Mousetrap’ play, Hamlet was called in her mother’s closet. There he bursts out and speaks daggers to her. He speaks harsh and vulgar language to show his anger and disgust on her hasty marriage. There can be no more convincing proof of Hamlet’s balanced mind than his own utterance to his mother. There he castigates his mother for her frailty and her wickedness and his words do awaken Gertrude’s conscience. Had he been mad, his words would not have left an inevitable influence on her that she turned to say that; “O Hamlet, speak no more;

And there I see such black and grained spots,
And will not leave their tint. . . . .
Thou turn’st mine eyes into my very soul,
And there I see such black and grained spots,
And will not leave their tint. . . . .
