I'm going to analyse Hamlet’s monologue from act III scene I.

The monologue is a speech consisting of a character's inner thoughts and it could be addressed to audience or another character.

In the monologue Hamlet immediately explains the content of his speech with To be or not to be, that is the question , indeed he talks about cons and pros of To beand not to be. The word question puts the reader in mind the idea of asking continually for answers. Hamlet hasn’t any certainties and he tries to consider pros and cons of to be and not to be, to live and to die. Living puts everyone to face suffering, calamity of life, outrageous fortune, sea of troubles, scorns of time, oppressors’ wrong, proud man’s contumely, dispriz’d love’s pangs, law’s delay, office’s insolence, spurns while dying is as sleeping and all pains of life end when you sleep, but there is a cons, indeed sleeping means also dreaming and nobody knows if you will make a dream or a nightmare. So Hamlet is confused, he doesn't know if he prefers living or dying. The fear of dying stops him to commit suicide and it forces to choose life to death. He compares life to a battle, indeed in the third and fourth lines the reader find the semantic fields of fight : slings, arrows, arms.

How as all adolescents Hamlet questions to himself about meaning of life and the using of infinite form of verb underlines his confusion. In addition the reader can note the repetition of harsh sound “r” in the words arrows, outrageous fortune, arms, troubles to give the idea of difficulty and the obstacles of life. In the tenth line you can note the passage from the sweet sound of verb to sleep to the harsh sound of verb to dream and it is followed by the word rub, indeed he pones the problem about that obstacle, people doesn’t know what they may happen when they die.

So Hamlet appears confuses, he is unable to take a decision and how as an adolescent he doesn't face his responsabilities, in particular he did the promise to his father to revenge him.
