Hamlet Soliloquy

Due to the task given to him by the ghost, Hamlet feels life is not worth the torment and the struggle it demands. In the soliloquy, Hamlet considers the option of suicide against that of life and its continued privation. The tone of despair and depression is made by Hamlet’s statement of his internal battle, the alternating of opposite arguments, as well as a plethora of metaphors and comparisons. The soliloquy simply highlights Hamlet’s serious indecisiveness and constant overthinking. It is used primarily to move the plot along and deepen the character of Hamlet. Up until its occurrence, Hamlet was without direction. Thereafter, he is focused on the plan he has conceived in this passage.

He is aware that he should follow with the ghost’s request and finish his uncle, but his moral self is viewing ambiguity with his immoral self for murder, as it is wrong and inhumane. Although Hamlet seems to consider suicide as an option, he does not act on it. Similarly, hamlet does not act on killing Claudius and avenging the murder of his father when he finally gets the opportunity. Ironically, it is this lack of action on Hamlet’s part that ultimately leads to the death of him and possibly others at the end of the tragic
