Notes on Hamlet

At first I thought Hamlet was going to do act irrationally based on is emotions after his father's death.  I understood that he wanted revenge on Claudius, but I was confused as to why he would openly consider suicide as possible option.  I can now see that Hamlet is a master strategist.  He has gradually gained control over his emotions and is ready to reveal Claudius.  He has slowly been damaging Claudius's psyche and wants to kill him soon.  I think the rest of this book is going to end with a blood bath.  Hamlet is going to set his plan in motion but Claudius knows that Hamlet knows, so he will naturally be trying to counteract Hamlet's plans.
