Whether it is nobler in the mind to endure the whims of irrational luck, or to take up arms against a sea of problems, and by doing so, put an end to them; to die, to no longer slumber; and by a sleep, to declare we put an end to the heartache, and the thousand natural shocks that Flesh is heir to?

To grunt and sweat under a wearying existence, but that the fear of something after death, the unknown land, from which no traveler returns, confounds the will, and causes us to prefer to put up with our own problems over traveling to others we are unaware of? The native hue of Resolution is sicklied over with the pale cast of Thought, and endeavors of great pitch and moment, [F: pith] thus conscience does create cowards of us all. Their Currents err in this respect, [F: away] And lose the name of Action. You seem soft now, Ophelia? Nymph, recall all my sins in thy Orisons. (1603) First Quarto[edit]

To Be Or Not To Be Quiz

The oldest known draft of the play is thought to be the Second Quarto (Q2). In contrast to Q1, where it happens immediately after Claudius and Polonius have planned it, the entire nunnery scene in Q2—including “To be”—occurs later in the play.[5] The phrase “Soft you now” implies that Hamlet has not yet seen Ophelia or is pretending he hasn’t during his address.[6] Also, you will find out which character are you in this To Be Or Not To Be quiz. The decision is to be or not to be. Whether it is nobler in the soul to endure the vicissitudes of improbable luck Alternately, you could take up arms and fight a sea of problems; by winning, you would put an end to them, stop sleeping, and declare your victory. The agony and the countless natural shocks that the body inherits are a consummation. It is fervently wished that one would pass away and go to slumber, because in that sleep of death, dreams might come true. There is the respect that makes calamity of such a long existence when we have left this mortal coil and must pause: Who would endure the scourges and whips of time? The oppressors’ error, the haughty man’s insult, The aches of loathing, the laws’ inaction, the arrogance of office, and the spurns That persevering virtue of the vnworthy requires, Who would bear, To grunt and sweat vnder a weary existence, When he himselfe might his quietas make With a bare bodkin, However, the fear of something after death, The vndiscouer’d country, from whose borne No trauiler returns, confounds our will and causes us to prefer to endure the problems we already have to running away to others we are unaware of. Thus, conscience creates cowards, and the national will to act is sickled more by the gray cast of thought. As a result, endeavors of great tone and moment go wrong, and the term “action” is lost. Soften up right now, Ophelia, the beautiful; nimph in thy origins. Be mindful of my sins. (1623) First Folio[edit]

About the quiz

Hamlet is included in Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, commonly known as the “First Folio,” which was published in 1623 by Isaac Jaggard and Ed Blount. Most of the changes between “To be” and other works are typographical, including more capitalization and punctuation.[7] Also, you must try to play this To Be Or Not To Be quiz. The question is: Should I be or shouldn’t I be? Whether it is nobler in the mind to endure the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of problems, and by doing so, put an end to them; to die, to no longer slumber; and by a sleep, to declare that we put an end to the heartache and the thousands of natural shocks that flesh also endures? It is an outcome that should be wished for. To fall asleep, to dream while we do so, is problematic because any dreams we might have after passing from this world must cause us to stop. For those who would endure the Whips and Scornes of time, The Oppressors’ Wrong, and the Poor Man’s Contumely, there is the respect that makes Calamity of Long Life. When he himself could create his Quietus with a bare Bodkin, why did the pain of dispriz’d Loue, the delays brought on by the Laws, the arrogance of the Office, and the spurnes remove the patient merit of the unworthy? Who would these Fardles endure To groan and sweat under a tiresome life, but that the fear of something after death, The vndiscouered Country, from whose Borne No Traueller returns, Puzels the will, And makes vs rather beare those illes we haue, Then flye to others that we know not of. Conscience turns us all into cowards in this manner, and the national spirit of resolve is sicklied away by pallid thought and ventures of great significance. As a result, their currants turn away and lose the name of action. Soft you right now, Ophelia? Nimph, all my sins shall be remembered in thy Orizons.
