Answer 1

Hamlet was in a deep dilemma. He wondered if he should continue to live or die. His mental conflict centered around two possibilities. He asks if it is nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of an unbearable situation than to fight against the sea of troubles that afflicts one and, by opposing them, end them. He pondered over the prospect of dying because with death we end the heartaches and the innumerable natural shocks that human beings have to endure. It is an end that we all hope for to sleep perchance to dream.

There is a problem in this solution also. In the sleep of death we might have dreams, and these dreams add more trouble.

Despite the calamity the dreams usher, death is desirable because none can tolerate the whips and scorns of time. In such traumatic situations, a rational person would choose to make the final settlement by ending his life with a sharp knife.

A weak-minded person is unable to bear the burdens of life and so chooses to end his life. But what prevents him from embracing this option is that he dreads the unknown after death. No dead man has come back to share his post-death experience. Luckily, this makes the meek and cowardly put up with the travails of life and not succumb to the thought of committing suicide. There is a general belief that those who commit suicide have a guaranteed place in hell. This belief, fortunately, prevents one from putting an end to one’s life. According to Hamlet, too much thinking delays one’s action.
