"To Be"

"Not To Be"

"And by opposing end them" You can fight against such troubles and face them.

"To die, to sleep;// to sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; // for in that sleep of death what dreams may come // when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, // must give us pause: there's the respect // that makes calamity of so long life" When you sleep you don't know if your dreams are bad or good. Thus Hamlet is undecided  if it is worth to go on living or not.

"But that the dread of something after death,// The undiscovered country, from whose bourn// No traveller returns, puzzles the will,// And makes us rather bear those ills we have// Than fly to others that we know not of?" Nobody knows what is going on after life.

"And enterprise of great pitch and moment//

With this regard their currents turn awry//

And lose the name of action." When you are dying, you are worried and you become a coward. Thus all the things that you want to do "lose the name of action"

"Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer // The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, // or to take arms against a sea of troubles". There's a war inside Hamlet. You can find it in the semantic field of war, represented by words like "slinks", "arrows", "arms". -pro to death, con to life-

"To die : to sleep;" Dying is compared to sleeping (metaphor) because death is a never ending sleep. -pro to death, con to life-

"by a sleep to say we end // the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks // that flesh is heir to" By death you can put an end to all your troubles. -pro to death, con to life-

"For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,// Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely// The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,// The insolence of office, and the spurns// That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,// When he himself might his quietus make// With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,// To grunt and sweat under a weary life," pros to death
