"Madness" - Muse

I chose the song "Madness" by  Muse, because it relates directly with the relation of Ophelia and Hamlet, and all the things that  happened in relation with them. This song describes perfectly how the situation was with them, and how they felt about it. Ophelia was Hamlet eternal's love but she was manipulated by the thoughts of his brother Laertes and his father Polonius. Rhey though that Hamlet was just using Ophelia and did not loved he. They told her that he was showing false vows for her and therefore she should end the relationship. She agreed to end the relationship with Hamlet even if she loved him too. As soon as Hamlet knew this, he turned insane and did some strange things, such some verbal attacks, letters and insanity moments. Also, because of other conflicts, Hamlet's insanity is fed and leads to the assasination of Polonius, Ophelia's father. The death of  Polonius leads to the complete insanity of Ophelia and the rage of Laertes. Later on, Ophelia drowns herself, and Laertes wants revenge. Thats why the song "Madness" is so related with the play and with Hamlet's attitude. An unchained series of chaotic and unfortuned events that leads everyone to madness.
