BR 2-6: Hamlet

"To be or not to be, that is the question: to go on living, fighting against this sea of troubles, or to die and end everything? Why be afraid of death? To die is sleep, no more. Perhaps to dream? Yes, that's the problem: in that sleep of death, what dreams will come?"
(William, 2004, p.17)

This words are monologue by Hamlet. He was frustrated to his father-in-law because he had known that his father had killed by his father-in-law. In this scene, his mother and entourage of his father are hiding and listening this and Hamlet meets Ophelia who he loves.

"To be or not to be",this words by are most famous words in this story. It is hard to interpret this word. It is interpreted that "l Should or not should the revenge." or "I should live or die." I think this words impress readers　Madness of Hamlet at any rate and we can image the whole picture of this story.
