Analysis of "To be or not to be"

In Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy, Hamlet's language distinctly identifies his feeling towards the betrayal of his kingdom. If I were to direct this scene, there would definitely be certain words and phrases that I would be sure to resonate throughout my audience. Through the words "heart-ache," "suffer," "troubles," "die," and "dreams," Hamlet emphasizes his pain for losing his dad, the betrayal of his mother, and the current king who murdered his brother without consequence. Hamlet is forced to hide this pain and choses to act like a madman in his plan to overtake the kingdom and find the king guilty. Through the use of the word "dreams," Shakespeare reveals Hamlet's crushed dreams of kingship and the "suffering" that he now must face.
