Detailed explanation-1: -"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-2: -In the ‘To be or not be to’ soliloquy Shakespeare has his Hamlet character speak theses famous lines. Hamlet is wondering whether he should continue to be, meaning to exist or remain alive, or to not exist – in other words, commit suicide.
Detailed explanation-3: -To be or not to be Hamlet is in a state of shock and grief as he has discovered that his father has been murdered by his uncle. Throughout this soliloquy, which happens at the start of Act 3 Scene 1, he thinks about whether he should face life’s hardships head on or end them by dying.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet arrives at the conclusion to not to commit suicide based off of an appeal that he makes to his character. He says how the unknown of the afterlife “make cowards of us all” including his own character in this statement. Hamlet shows how he is unable to kill himself because of the unknowns surrounding death.
