7. I think Hamlet tells his companions he is likely to put on an "antic disposition" so he lets them in on his plan. He also tells them, so if they see him acting crazy they will not think much of it, yet not let on to others that he is not actually crazy. I think his behavior is both a deliberate strategy and a natural reaction to his grief and anger, because it has elements of both sources. His plan is definitely fueled by his anger and desire for revenge But he acts crazy due to his plan, so the emotions are intermingled.
14. The assumption that underly Hamlet's response is that he has a feeling that his two friends have been sent to spy on him, because otherwise their drop-by seems rather random. He means that over thinking and questioning are not good ideas. Yes I do agree with what Hamlet is saying. The second quote suggests that there is method to Hamlet's madness. His craziness is sensible in that there is deep meaning in his craziness. I believe at this point in the play he is acting because there a clear thought pattern being put into his statements.
