TO ACT OR NOT TO ACT

Hamlet's soliloquy has tons of meanings and you can find them by just one search on the internet. The first time I read it it was very hard to understand, mostly because it was written in old English. I now understand that to be or not to be means should he act or shouldn't he, not should he do it or shouldn't he do it. It's interesting how someone could struggle with doing something like Hamlet did when someone could just jump in and do things and hope for the best like Steve Jobs. I'm not saying Hamlet had an easy thing to do but the way he struggled with it surprised me. I feel as if others, such as me, would be so filled with hatred and anger that they would just kill their betraying uncle and get it over with. It's also interesting how Hamlet's soliloquy can be applied to everyday decision making and doing. No matter how simple it is it can be applied and actually make sense if you think about it enough.
