To Be, or Not To Be:

To be or not to be, that is the question.
to live or to die, this is how i nterpret it.
in hamlets soliloquy i feel that Hamlet is weighing his options of what is better.
Is it better to live in pain and suffering? or is it better to die? but he doesnt know better
because no one knows what happens after death. His questioning is agonizing to his
own self, the uncertainty kills him, what is better? what is worse? Is living even worth
all his pain? or is it better to go into the unknown alone?
This is the mental and inner battle that Hamlet is dealing with.

But ahh, the beautiful Ophelia! may all his sins be remembered. = to be.


I feel that this solilogquy is very famous and that I and most people can relate with it because at some point in life I feel that most poeple ask themselves a familiar question, or questionare, not if its better to live or not, we just want to know what happens after life.
