Feigned madness in popular culture
Such an act can also be used to divert
suspicion, perhaps in advance of an act of
revenge. Examples of this are
Shakespeare's
Hamlet, who feigns madness in order to speak freely,
Lucius Junius Brutus, who feigned madness until the time when he was able to drive the people to insurrection, and
David, who feigned madness in order to escape from King
Achish. In all of these examples, the act of feigning madness reduces the perceived threat of the actor, in the eyes of his persecutors.
