Question 1:
We learn that Hamlet is tired of all of the pain and suffering achieved from life and he believes that suicide would be preferred if not for the uncertainty of death and what may happen to him after the speech. It is clear that he is conflicted on the central question: To be or not to be and therefore is in the mental space where he is pondering suicide. One could extrapolate the idea that Hamlet is overall unsure of himself, especially in the scenario he is currently placed in

Question 2:
The lines and arguments clearly reveal that Hamlet has an extreme lack self-worth thus making him suicidal. We can also understand another key character trait of Hamlet, that being his key flaw of overthinking, on full display here, thinking about his role in life and all potential outcomes of suicide. We can also see the pure fear present within him, choosing to run away from his problems in the real world but terrified of the problems that may await him in the afterlife.

Question 3:
I see 2 potential outcomes considering the ideas considered here.

1. Hamlet attempts to commit suicide but somebody stops him

2. Someone who wants Hamlet's power to try to convince and manipulate him to commit suicide

It is clear that Hamlet is on the fence regarding committing suicide and therefore he is easily susceptible to both sides, living or dying.

To be or not to be,
that is the question
Death is such as a forbidden fruit,
one you haven't tasted yet, one you yearn to,
just one bite, and you just might experience the sweetest of bliss
but what of you after?
what happens after you taste the sweet juice of death

question 1 (pujita and arnav)-

-We learn that hamlet is a suicidal and depressed human. He expresses his emotions out loud, creating a dreary and dull atmosphere around the play.

-Questioning his life
contemplating life and death
he doesnt like human life
he would prefer death to live
this tells us about his own self worth and what he thinks about himself
he's confused as to the fact if he should live or not, this tells us that hes not only questioning his existance but also offers insight that he does't like the life he leads

Question 2 (Ishi)-
-In the soliloquy to be or to not be by Hamlet, Hamlet is openly expressing his feelings to himself in the form of spoken words. Rather than thinking about his problems and thoughts he chose to express them by speaking to himself. Each line spoken by him is poetic and well constructed. He expresses the struggle of life through similes and personification, and uses his body language to speak too. He moves his hands from his chest to pointing his fingers as his eyes widen with every sentence he speaks. Through his strong language and expressive movements, he reveals that he is a poetic yet fearful person who constantly thinks about the future and worries about the afterlife.

Question 3(Adrija and Sahithi)-
-In the soliloquy, Hamlet is contemplating between living or dying because he is not content with how he's living, he wants his heartache and pain to end, hence, i believe that Hamlet eventually decides to end his life after contemplating whether he should live or die.

-The soliloquy shows how Hamlet counters his decision to live or die. He is not content with his way of life due to the pain and heartache of his mothers wedding. I expect that Hamlet will ultimately end his life

To beest or not to beest mine life servants, that is the question.

The endless plague of heartache, deep troubles and curses hath brought upon me

from the gods above

followeth me, plagues mine person until I am forced to consider

Should I keepeth up this endless charade of fighting back against the tumultuous uproar of despair

or should I alloweth the darkness consume me in eternal sleep

However, one must ponder the consequences

My pleas of mine pain and suffering, all to stoic unmoving judges

Unfazed by mine sobs

Condemning me to eternal pain

The undiscovered land may not treat me

And I shalt potentially suffer within its borders.

He desires death,  and he had a fear of what would happen after his death. We learn that hamlet is a suicidal and depressed human. He expresses his emotions out loud, creating a dreary and dull atmosphere around the play.

1) (abhiram and Bhagay Shree) from this soliloquy, we can understand how emotionally unstable hamlet is. contemplating his death to escape the misery and to end his hard times, it shows how he has become a wandering soul after his mother’s marriage. throughout the soliloquy, we can see how hamlet reflects on suicide and the bliss that comes from it, but it leaves him more confused and never makes a decision. this shows hamlets inability to decide.

2) (Aeshaan and Janvi)Hamlet as a man who lives a confusing and painful life, Hamlet views the world and his life as a place of suffering. Hamlet's fear of the afterlife creates an idea of more misery to come after death. While both aspects haunt him, Hamlet questions which world he belongs to. "To be or not to be" displays Hamlet as a puzzled man who fears both living and dying, which will eventually cause misery. Shakespeare solidifies the sorrows and the unknown fears all humans feel towards life and life after death through Hamlet's consideration of his existence.

3) (maneesh) We learn how badly Hamlet feels about hismother's remarriage, that it's already got him thinking of suicide, andthat it makes the world seem unsatisfying. He uses images frommythology that make his father sound very heroic and characterizes thedepth of his love for him. He also establishes that he feels he cannot speakfreely at court.

MONOLOGUE

(Abhiram)  to be or to not be, that is the question.

all this misery and heartache, that trouble me, will death solve it all?

is sleep, the elixir to my broken heart?

but the land that lies ahead, is one i do not know of. in my sleep, will i dream of a happy dream, or continue to live a nightmare?

ahh, the mystery behind the undiscovered country is what prevents us from eternal sleep.

it shackles us down with the thought of life being better than the dream that comes ahead.
