In the soliloquy, Hamlet is speaking thoughtfully and agonizingly to himself about the question of whether to commit suicide to end the pain of experience: “To be, or not to be: that is the question” (1). He says that the miseries of life are such that no one would willingly bear them, except that they are afraid of “something after death” (23). Because we do not know what to expect in the afterlife, we would rather “bear those ills we have,” Hamlet says, “than fly to others that we know not of” (26-27).
