Hamlet again goes further into contemplation of the afterlife and suicide, in his infamous “To be or not To be” soliloquy. He states in “To be or not To be” that the afterlife is an undiscovered world, and that no one has ever returned.

Yet, Hamlet answers this question himself: he cannot commit suicide because of “the dread of something after death” (Shakespeare 53).

    The “To be or not to be” soliloquy is very pessimistic in nature, heightening Hamlet’s distressed mental state. Just as in every soliloquy, life is heavily examined by Hamlet, but in this particular speech, it is as if Hamlet has reached his final straw, mentally. At this point, Hamlet is questioning which option is nobler to “suffer the slings of and arrows of outrageous fortune, / Or to take arms against a sea of troubles / and, by opposing, end them” (3.1.66-67). Shortly after, the analytical Hamlet considers the pros and cons of suicide. On one hand, suicide is essentially an eternal session of sleep that would end all of life’s troubles making it “a consummation / Devoutly to be wished”.
