To be or not to be that is the question

"Oh me, Oh life" why does he repeat this so much?

Question

2016-03-09 15:19:18 UTC

"eyes that vainly crave the light"... What is the light supposed to represent? And is he criticizing them for doing so?

Question

2016-03-09 15:19:24 UTC

Why is he writing about this? Why is he questioning the purpose of life?

Question

2016-03-09 15:19:28 UTC

What crises is the speaker facing that is making him think this way?

Question

2016-03-09 15:19:30 UTC

What does "struggle" refer to? Is it life?

Phrase "Oh me! Oh life!

2016-03-09 15:19:37 UTC

Why does Whitman change the spelling of this to "O me, O life?" at the end of the stanza.

Question

2016-03-09 15:19:38 UTC

Why keep questioning when he states the answer?

That life seems pointless and filled with recurring sadness, yet we all still try to "contribute a verse" and somehow make a difference in the monotony of it all.

Question

2016-03-09 15:20:54 UTC

What happened, that the speaker is so hopeless?
Who answers him?

Originally super negative, showing no hope for himself and a lack of self-confidence.. Then comes to a realization that life is overall good - Polar opposite feelings emphasize the impact of the poem
