"Mad World" - Gary Jules

The song "Mad World", from the singer Gary Jules, relates directly with the main character Hamlet specifically when he is driving in, in that kind of depressive madness. There are many things that are driving Hamlet into a state of insanity. For example the death and loss of his father. This specific issue drove in Hamlet insane, and it also gave birth to other problems that affect Hamlet. The fact that Claudius, blood brother of Hamlet's father, murdered the King with poison trough his ear made Hamlet sick. Also, that within less than a month his mother, Queen Gertrude, accepted marriage with his uncle, the one that murdered his father. The sheets of the royal bed were spotted with incestuous actions. He considered his mother weak and a total whore because of the ability of being able to forget her husband that fast. The secret relationship that he has with Ophelia, Polonius daughter, and the internal problems of that relation are also a problem for Hamlet. 

"All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces


Bright and early for the daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere".


This part of the song talks about how everything lost its place, and how everything is losing its curse. And this can be related to Hamlet because of all the problems he has and how they are affecting him.
