Detailed explanation-1: -’To sleep, perchance to dream’, then, warns against the dangers of longing for the ultimate sleep – the ‘sleep of death’ – because the living can little comprehend what happens after we die, and what ‘dreams’ may lie in store for us then.
Detailed explanation-2: -To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub. That makes calamity of so long life.
Detailed explanation-3: -To Sleep, Perchance to Dream Meaning Definition: What happens after death? This quote is a euphemism for suicide. It is common for people to quote this line when talking about sleeping or dreaming, rather than specifically suicide.
Detailed explanation-4: -The phrase “to die, to sleep” is an example of repetition, as it appears once in line 5 and once in line 9. Hearing this phrase twice emphasizes that Hamlet is really (albeit futilely) attempting to logically define death by comparing it to what we all superficially know it to be: a never-ending sleep.
