Hamlet Solilioquy
"To be or not to be"
Sling and arrow
The quote that I am going to be analyzing is the infamous quote that is said by Hamlet, "To be or not to be" (Shakespeare 3, 1, 56-88) The picture that I am showing here is a sling with an arrow because in the quote, Hamlet mentions this when he emphasizes about the rain of chaos with slings and arrows. "The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" (3.1.58)
Sea of troubles
This shows a picture of the ocean/sea. Hamlet mentions the term "sea of troubles" in his passage to describe the chaos that is going on in the play. Hamlet says this, "Or to take arms against a sea of troubles" (3.1.59) Hamlet is making a metaphor about there being a vast amount of troubles and problems as the sea is the place of all of the problems and troubles
Sleep
This picture is a clip-art of sleep. Hamlet seems to constantly mention the word sleep in this passage. It is often associated with death as he is describing it with his plot against Claudius. An example can be seen when he says, "To die-to sleep, no more; and by a sleep to say we end" (3.1.60-61)
Death
The picture that I am depicting here is death. As you can see, this whole play and passage mentions and commits death a lot. Especially, when Hamlet is trying to take revenge by killing Claudius for killing his father. He is saying that Claudius' death will be the solution to his father's death. Hamlet can be seen saying, "For in that sleep of death what dreams may come" (3.1.66)
Bodkin
Hamlet questions himself about his morality and his conscience. He says it with "a bare bodkin". This can be seen when he says, "With a bare bodkin?" (3.1.76) He is making a play on words on how someone can make a solution
Hesitation
This picture is showing a person who does not know what to do in a situation. The reason that I chose this picture is because this whole passage is Hamlet who is hesitating to act or not to act his plan at the moment. Hmalet is questioning himself whether if it will be a good idea or not to act out.
