When your back is against a wall and it seems that all hope is lost, do not give up. Because if you choose suicide, you will never live to see it get worse, however, you also pass up the chance to see life get better. Suicide is an important, recurring theme in William Shakespeare's, Hamlet, and it is a topic that Hamlet contemplates quite often throughout the play.

Hamlet is adamant that the unknown, the inconclusiveness of nobility, along with the sin attached to suicide is what ultimately keeps people from taking their own lives.

Shakespeare is so old-school. That is what most people think, but many do not know how some versions of Shakespeare's work can become more relevant to the audience. Each version may have their own unique way to show it can be relevant. That is great because some people may be more interested in only one version. Some people find comedy more amusing than others, while some would rather just see the original with the time period it should take place in.

"To be or not to be, that is the question". This is probably one of the most famous soliloquies. You could say that Hamlet sounds like a broken record with the whole suicide thing. However, he just might be moving on here. After all, instead of obsessing about whether or not to kill himself, he is exploring the reason why people in general don't commit suicide. When it comes down to it, he is talking about you, us and everyone else out there. Life is worth because we are experience every single moment. And there are some special moment that define who we are.

Shakespeare started his career trying to be an actor. In that time, it was very hard for an actor to do well and get bigger parts if they weren’t a well-known actor or actress. So he tried writing plays. It turned out , he was pretty a good writer. People liked his plays so much they would skip work to go see them. The play they like the most of his is Romeo and Juliet. Back in his times, there were two main types of plays, a serious adventure type and a comedy

When Hamlet is set up and spied on by Claudius and Polonius, he examines the moral aspect of suicide in a painful world. He opens his soliloquy with asking a simple question, "To be, or not to be:that is the question:" (III. i. 58), that is, whether to live or to die. He then begins to question whether it is nobler to suffer life and the, "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," (III. i. 66), or to take ones life and end one's suffering. He compares death to sleep and at first thinks that

Based on the play of Hamlet by William Shakespeare, suicide is the most prevalent and important themes in Hamlet. Hamlet always asks himself for the reason to stay alive. Even though he always thinks that there is no reason for him to stay alive, however he always chooses to stay. The first reason Hamlet seems to contemplate suicide is because his life is contaminated by sins and revenge. The other reason he is thinking about suicide is because he is young and immature. Young adults usually look for escapes when they become angry with things. There are many instances where Hamlet contemplating suicide and he treats the idea of suicide morally, religiously, and aesthetically, with particular attention to Hamlet’s two important statements about suicide: the “O, that this too too solid flesh would melt” soliloquy (I.ii.129–158) and the “To be, or not to be” soliloquy (III.i.56–88).

In Hamlet's first soliloquy, he reflects upon the major motif of suicide and death while speaking to himself. Hamlet’s father has just been murdered and his mother has now married Hamlet’s uncle who is the new king. This makes Hamlet contemplate suicide by saying, “Or that the Everlasting had not fix’d his canon ‘gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!”(Shakespeare I.II.131-132)

Considering all of the evidence presented, it seems to be highly unlikely that Shakespeare was capable of writing so many exceptional works. There is barely any documented evidence that shows Shakespeare was even a writer(Hechinger 2012). There should be some sort of evidence that Shakespeare was a writer. It does not make sense that there

Suicide, in today’s society is seen as a dreadful tragedy that no human should resort to, and this outlook was no different in Shakespeare’s time. Shakespeare introduces the theme of suicide in Hamlet by emoting a dark, and vengeance filled side of Hamlet, which is constantly brought up as he contemplates the idea of suicide. Hamlet considers the benefits of leaving the miserable life he was given, for an unknown life with the dead. Although, Hamlet’s repetitive thoughts of death make us question his sanity, the bigger picture is the powerful message that Shakespeare delivers about suicide. Essentially, through the idea of suicide Shakespeare discloses how poorly suicide has been looked upon over the years as it was not only considered a mortal

"To be, or not to be, that is the question."(Hamlet) This quote is the most famous of Shakespeare because of the impact it really has, this is Hamlet asking himself; should I kill myself or should I stay alive?

Maybe he didn’t publish it because he probably died before he had the chance to. Also he might have thought it wasn’t good enough so he could have put it to the side and started on something else. Also, he could have had a journal filled with great stories.

Hamlet, although he is a rather irresolute and indecisive character when Shakespeare wrote the “To be or not to be…” speech, Hamlet not only contemplates whether or not to commit suicide but for once in the play he answers and resolves his own problems. Hamlet

The plays attributed to William Shakespeare literally have his name on them. There was a record of eighteen plays issued in quarto before the First Folio was published. The list of the plays includes the author’s name and the date in which each play was published. Some Anti-Stratfordians try to argue that some of the first quartos of William Shakespeare’s plays lacked the name of the author on them. Anti-Stratfordians suggest that the was an attempt to conceal the name of the author. However, during Shakespeare’s day people just did not observe their authors much. Only about one third of all the printed plays in the 1950s had the author’s name on the title page.
