Hamlet

1) To be, or not to be, that is the question.

Note: to live in this world or to die, to suffer or to take actions. It is always a question that puzzles Hamlet.(P55)

2) Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings of arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? To die, to sleep---no more. (P56)

Note: The figure of speech here is metaphor.
