Reworked materials, but was able to make them his own. Ophelia and gertrude used by men as pawns. Ophelia under her father"s control in order to weed out little truths from hamlet. Text constantly indulges in there issues, and creates a multitude of experiences for the reader to become aware of. Madness allows us a temporary dislodgement of what is true or realistic. Not bound by social restraints, or required sets of behaviors. Hamlet can tease whomever, without a judgement being passed on him right away. Brilliant cover for him, fascinating for the audience to watch.
