#7- Hamlet tells Horatio, Marcellus, and the Ghost that after this encounter he likely to out on an antic disposition so they are aware of his plan and asks them not to draw attention, that they know. His reaction and amount of anger grief he has and his want for revenge is a natural reaction yet his meticulous plan to put on an act of delirium to deceive the public is a bit extreme and can be considered a deliberate strategy.
#14- When Hamlet says, "Why, then, 'tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Hamlet feels he is under constant surveillance and even suspects Guildenstern and Rosencrantz of being sent to watch, which turns out to be true. He is saying that Denmark for them is not a prison for them because they do not question the authority and its rule, but he is questioning and thinking about what really happened concerning his father and thus he is in a way imprisoned there. Later on he says, "I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is southerly I know hawk from handsaw" in a kind of admittance way, that he is not necessarily really mad but, actually acting when the time calls for it.
