Detailed explanation-1: -“To be or not to be-that is the question” is the first line of arguably the most famous speech in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. In this soliloquy from Act 3, Scene 1, Hamlet contemplates death and what comes after it.
Detailed explanation-2: -"To be, or not to be” is the opening phrase of a speech given by Prince Hamlet in the so-called “nunnery scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1. In the speech, Hamlet contemplates death and suicide, weighing the pain and unfairness of life against the alternative, which might be worse.
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 be, or not to be, that is the question. Spoken by Hamlet during his soliloquy in the nunnery scene. It remains one of Shakespeare’s most famous quotes.
