The " To Be Or Not Speech " is very known. It is basically a soliloquy by new Hamlet. It is a thought that was supposed to be in his head but is spoken aloud. He is debating rather or not life is worth its wild, as everyone say it is. He is questioning the value of life. Would it be better to deal with the cons and dilemmas of life or will it be wiser to just throw the towel in. I strongly believe he made some good points, but he also said that no one know for sure how is the after life like, or if there is even really one.
Hamlet is going through a lot in his life right now. From his father being murdered, to his own mother becoming his aunt in law, and the fact his uncle is his evil step dad that he is forced to live with. His best friends are betraying his and lying to him, and the fact that he is forced to break up a relationship with a close person. I think he felt like he hit rock bottom. That the only solution was that somebody has to die. If its him or his uncle doesn't matter. The pain, stress and suffering is causing him to think so drastically and dramatically of taking his own life or another.
