“To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms..."

This is the most famous part of Hamlet; it is the part that everyone hears when they think of Hamlet, that and a skull. Why they think of this little speech that Hamlet gives and a skull is beyond me. The skull is part of the "poor Yoric I knew him well" scene, but whatever. This is the part where Hamlet is contemplating death and suicide. To be or not to be, to live or not to live. The next part is about whether it is better to endure life and the every day shocks of life. Then he starts to think about what might come after death. To sleep, perchance to dream theirs the rub. This is where it is better to endure the known or to brave the unknown, to travel to that distant land from whence no traveler has ever returned.
