Poem: 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 Heart-ache, 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; Aye, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,

The poem contains a contrast between life and death. In the first line, the speaker wonders whether it is better to be alive and endure the suffering that comes with life, or to take arms against the 'sea of troubles' and die. The speaker then goes on to ponder the idea of death, as it is a relief from the pain and suffering of life, but also acknowledges that death brings its own fears, as one does not know what dreams may come in the afterlife. This contrast between life and death is further explored throughout the rest of the poem.
