Hamlet is wighing if is better to live or to die. In structuring his soliloqui Shakespeare had divided the soliloqui: in the first part the protagonist introduces the question. the first question Hamlet is pondering is if is better to suffer the "slings and arrows" of life or decide to fight against the problems of life. The first line is the introduction of the problem. In life I can fight and put an end on it. Lather hamlet takes into consideration to die, if you sleep you do not fell the pain, the troubles come to a pouse. Since we are made of flesh we can feel the pain, people often desire to dio because it will bring an end to the suffering. After a second thought Hamlet understands that when we sleep we can have dreams and them can turn into nightmares, When we die we can have the feeling that we had got rid of our body and so our pain. After the previous consideration Hamlet developes the consideration in a more detailed way. Who could bear all this? Our body does not respond, we feel scorn by time, all this gives an exhample of the difficult of the life, this are all the considerations that makes life so difficult to live. If life is so difficult why does not people commit suicide? Thios is whay Hamlet wants to find out. Our will is weaked by the unknown, the fear of the unknow prevent human for committing suicide.
