Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Throughout the play of Hamlet written by William Shakespeare, in the eyes of Hamlet himself he views humanity quite negatively. Hamlet expresses this feeling many times as he sees almost everybody will do what they must to make them feel great about themselves and just for their own personal gain.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Hamlet’s “to be or not to be” soliloquy, Hamlet views life as a struggle. To him, it is endless suffering until the sweet release of death.

Detailed explanation-3: -The soliloquy is essentially all about life and death: “To be or not to be” means “To live or not to live” (or “To live or to die"). Hamlet discusses how painful and miserable human life is, and how death (specifically suicide) would be preferable, would it not be for the fearful uncertainty of what comes after death.
