Detailed explanation-1: -Time is out of joint. Spoken by Hamlet to Horatio after being visited by the ghost of his father. The phrase translates as time being dislocated and not in the right place.
Detailed explanation-2: -Left alone, Claudius reveals his remorse for killing his brother, and he tries to pray. Hamlet comes upon him kneeling and draws his sword, but then stops to think that if he kills Claudius at prayer, Claudius will go to heaven.
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.
Detailed explanation-4: -“To thine own self be true.” “Though this be madness, yet there is method in ‘t.” “Brevity is the soul of wit.” “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
