7. I think that he tells his friends and companions that he is going to put on an "antic disposition" for attention, and to play a joke on them. Obviously throughout the course of the play, his "pretending" turns in to real anger, and he becomes mad. But I believe his first intentions are to be clearly over dramatic, and these are not his true feelings. I think that his behavior is definitely a strategy, which turns into reality. At first he is playing games, and later his true feelings are exposed.
14. The first quote is when we finally see that his funny moments, and his comic attitude is now turning into him being hurt and serious. He confronts Rosencrantz and expresses his true anger. Hamlet is trying to get the truth out of Rosey and Guildy and he is playing mind games with them, but is starting to express his true intentions. In the second quote, we see that Hamlet is noticing his crazy behavior and he recognizes it. He is aware that he is putting on an act, and is finally realizing how his behavior is affecting others.
