About This Quote

In this quote from Hamlet, the madman is described as “plumb crazy.” This means that he is crazy to the point of being completely insane. The madman in this case is out of touch with reality and incapable of understanding what is happening around him. If he were just a little bit crazier, then he might be able to understand the gravity of his situation.
