    The first soliloquy provides a contrast between the controlled and artificial dialogue he had exchanged with Claudius in the court. It is situated when King Claudius and Ma’am Queen Gertrude advocate Hamlet in “open court” to discard his feelings of melancholia‚ which they believe has taken over his mind as a result of his father’s death.

    Hamlet Commentary This soliloquy‚ spoken by Hamlet in Act III‚ scene I‚ is the passage I choose for my commentary. Hamlet reveals the problem of whether to commit suicide as a question of “To be‚ or not to be‚” meaning‚ to live or not to live. He debates the consequences of both living and dying.

    Amanda Orive- Phipps Matt McGuiness‚ Hamlet Short Response Essay (Opinionated) Hamlet’s Madness; and its effects on those around him In the beginning‚ Hamlet is merely distraught and sad for the loss of his father.
