"Mad World" by Gary Jules

The song “Mad World” by Gary Jules is a song that talks about confusion and depression of someone. The person also sees a very tensing environment all around him; people tearing up, and also with no expression in their faces. The author falls into a deep depressed madness. In the phrase “I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had” the author states a state of profound confusion and emotions. It has fallen into a stress level in which he feels that death is the only way out of his problems.

This event also happened in the play hamlet after the death of hamlet´s father.  He sees the people around him feeling depressed as a cause of the catastrophe, but he also sees that there is no expression within their feelings. They had no expression in their feelings because his uncle was the one that murdered the king, and his mother married his uncle. The ghost of the king demands hamlets to seek revenge and this affects hamlet emotionally.  All these events confuse hamlet emotionally and he falls into a deep depression. Later in the play hamlet reach a point in which he does not know what to do and just wishes for his death. This is why hamlet and the song “Mad World” relate.
