HAMLET: To be‚ or not to be--that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die‚ to sleep-- No more--and by a sleep to say we end The heartache‚ and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. ’Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished.

Hamlet: Coward Many people proclaim Hamlet a hero‚ but I believe he stands as a coward who questions himself. Hamlet’s intellectual ability is superior to others‚ but there lies his weakness. His thinking in certain situations and personal needs characterize Hamlet as a coward of mind‚ not action. Hamlet is a coward because he is unable to make decisions. To begin with‚ Hamlet’s first instance of showing a cowardly mindset is when he questions himself in his “Oh what a peasant slave am I” soliloquy
