European History

Hello guys, I need an answer for one of these questions about 1. & 2. William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Acts I-II :  YOU CAN CHOOSE ONE, IT SHOULD BE 75 WORDS, and IT MUST BE DONE IN 40 MINUTES.

1) Hamlet is very much a play that focuses in the interior struggles of one individual: Hamlet, but how are Hamlet's struggles representative of the greater struggles Demark faces, and subsequently, the ones England faces at this time?

2) Hamlet claims to feign madness as part of his plan to determine Claudius's guilt, but, is he actually mad? Compare and contrast this madness with Don Quixote's. Which character is actually mad? What purpose does madness serve in each text? 

THANK YOU
