 What is the subject of Hamlet's second
soliloquy, the famous "To be or not to be"
speech? How does this speech relate to the
rest of the play?

Click on screen to continue

 The soliloquy is about suicide, and the
notion that we would all kill ourselves if
we knew what happened after we died.
That the world is such a horrible place,
that no one wants to be here. Hamlet’s
world is so tumultuous that he feels this
way, until the end of the play, when all
conflicts are resolved – he begs Horatio to
live, and therefore insinuates that the
world is a worthwhile place.
