生存還是毀滅？這是個問題。
究竟哪樣更高貴，去忍受那狂暴的命運無情的摧殘 還是挺身去反抗那無邊的煩惱，把它掃一個乾淨。 去死，去睡就結束了，如果睡眠能結束我們心靈的創傷和肉體所承受的千百種痛苦，那真是生存求之不得的天大的好事。去死，去睡，
去睡，也許會做夢！
唉，這就麻煩了，即使擺脫了這塵世 可在這死的睡眠裡又會做些什麼夢呢？真得想一想，就這點顧慮使人受著終身的折磨，
誰甘心忍受那鞭打和嘲弄，受人壓迫，受盡侮蔑和輕視，忍受那失戀的痛苦，法庭的拖延，衙門的橫徵暴斂，默默無聞的勞碌卻只換來多少凌辱。但他自己只要用把尖刀就能解脫了。
誰也不甘心，呻吟、流汗拖著這殘生，可是對死後又感覺到恐懼，又從來沒有任何人從死亡的國土裡回來，因此動搖了，寧願忍受著目前的苦難 而不願投奔向另一種苦難。
顧慮就使我們都變成了懦夫，使得那果斷的本色蒙上了一層思慮的慘白的容顏，本來可以做出偉大的事業，由於思慮就化為烏有了，喪失了行動的能力。
原文
Hamlet:
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 against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die- to sleep.
To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death-
The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns- puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.
《哈姆雷特（Hamlet）》是由英國劇作家威廉·莎士比亞創作於1599年至1602年間的一部悲劇作品。戲劇講述了叔叔克勞狄斯謀害了哈姆雷特的父親，篡取了王位，並娶了國王的遺孀喬特魯德；哈姆雷特王子因此為父王向叔叔復仇。
內容簡介：
丹麥王子哈姆雷特在德國威登堡大學就讀時突然接到父親的死訊，回國奔喪時接連遇到了叔父克勞狄斯即位和叔父與母親喬特魯德在父親葬禮後一個月匆忙結婚的一連串事變，這使哈姆雷特充滿了疑惑和不滿。緊接著，在霍拉旭和勃那多站崗時出現了父親老哈姆雷特的鬼魂，說明自己是被克勞狄斯毒死並要求哈姆雷特為自己復仇。隨後，哈姆雷特利用裝瘋掩護自己並通過"戲中戲"證實了自己的叔父的確是殺父仇人。由於錯誤地殺死了心愛的奧菲莉亞的父親波羅涅斯，克勞狄斯試圖借英王手除掉哈姆雷特，但哈姆雷特趁機逃回丹麥，卻得知奧菲莉亞自殺並不得不接受了與其兄雷歐提斯的決鬥。決鬥中哈姆雷特的母親喬特魯德因誤喝克勞狄斯為哈姆雷特准備的毒酒而中毒死去，哈姆雷特和雷歐提斯也雙雙中了毒劍，得知中毒原委的哈姆雷特在臨死前殺死了克勞狄斯並囑託朋友霍拉旭將自己的故事告訴後來人。
