HamletHamletHamlet’s soliloquy, “To be or not to be, that is the question,” found in Act 3, Scene 1, of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, is one of the most recognized and famous soliloquies in all of English literature. Hamlet uses this moment alone to ponder what he will do in response to his father’s death. In this statement, Hamlet explores the idea of living and dying and what can be found in death. Is death like a dream while one sleeps? Or do we cease to sleep? Or is it just nothing? These are questions that Hamlet considers while deciding the fate of King Claudius. Hamlet wants to seek revenge on Claudius for killing King Hamlet and for marrying the queen, yet he knows that if he were to kill Claudius, he himself would also be killed. Hamlet’s debate of life versus death makes him question the advantages and disadvantages of existence and whether or not it is right to end his life or that of another.

This poem is sung by the first couple of couples in a series of songs. The first couple in one song is, for reasons unknown, considered a dead man and the second couple is considered a person of God if they are still alive, so we have no idea that we are in love. The third couple, who have just one wife, are considered not dead but actually living human beings. The second couple in a song is, for reasons unknown, considered dead, so we have no idea that we are in love. The third couple is, for reasons unknown, considered dead, so we have no idea that we are in love.

It is believed that women of the West might be able to choose any of the many different life choices afforded to them by Western countries, in order to marry for life. There could be no right or evil if one has not been given the choice by its author, and it would mean that one would then find another man in life as his right to choose his wife. In reality, that same choice is considered sinful in women. What is sinful is in keeping with the fact that our actions and actions are based on sin.

“To be or not to be” or more simply stated is it better to live or die. During this famous soliloquy, Hamlet wonders whether he should take action against his “sea of troubles” and seek revenge for his fathers death or live with the pain of his fathers murder. He also wonders that if he were to commit suicide, what could he expect in the afterlife. He questions whether or not suicide is morally right in an otherwise painful world. Hamlet has such grief that he frequently longs for death to end his suffering, but he fears that if he commits suicide, he will be subjected to eternal suffering in hell because of the Christian religion’s prohibition of suicide. In his famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy (III.i), Hamlet believe that no one would choose to endure the pain of life if he or she were not afraid of what would come after death, and that fear is what keeps him from taking action.
