The plot of Hamlet is set in motion by Claudius's murderous ambition to supplant his brother, the King. It ends with his replacement by Young Fortinbras, the Norwegian prince, as King. All political power in Denmark is concentrated on the throne.

William Shakespeare's Hamlet emphasizes division of social classes and unquenchable desire to obtain power through self- benefiting manipulation and misuse of authority. The misuse of power in Hamlet exemplifies the corruption in the upper class due to their suppressive nature towards the plorient class.
In His such actions as fondness for ridiculing, his cruelty towards Ophelia, his broken sleep and bad dreams, his melancholy and his desire for secrecy, in the scene of Ophelia's funeral Hamlet etc seem to be totally strange and out of control.

Answer:

Erratic(Unpredictable, unstable,etc.) Behavior

Step-by-step explanation:

Within the castle, Claudius and Gertrude welcome Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two of Hamlet’s friends from Wittenberg. Increasingly concerned about Hamlet’s erratic behavior and his apparent inability to recover from his father’s death, the king and queen have summoned his friends to Elsinore in the hope that they might be able to cheer Hamlet out of his melancholy, or at least discover the cause of it. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern agree to investigate, and the queen orders attendants to take them to her “too much changed” son (II.ii.36).
