8, 7 of hamlet and 1 of claudius
In each of the first four acts, Hamlet expresses his private anguish in a soliloquy. Soliloquies are used to let the audience know a character's private thoughts.
Hamlet delivers four soliloquies, give or take. All have to do with the question of when to act and when to hold oneself back, and the general wickedness of the world. His most famous soliloquy, the "to be or not to be" speech, discusses how fear of the afterlife contributes to fear of death, and how in general a sober understanding of the possible consequences can paralyze you.
The final paragraph of Baines's document reads: These thinges, with many other shall by good & honest witnes be approved to be his opinions and Comon Speeches
Hamlet has matured and is ready to take action after his experience with the pirates. But this does not make him any less discursive. His speech "Alas, poor Yorick" is just like a soliloquy. So is "To what base uses we may return, Horatio" and "There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow." The only reason they are not soliloquies is that Hamlet is never alone in Act 5. He would be saying these things to himself if Horatio was not constantly at his side.
It was not explicitly stated in the text, but many assume that Ophelia was Hamlet's girlfriend.

In Hamlet and other plays, Shakespeare uses the soliloquy to explain the thoughts of his characters : their feelings, desires, and motivations. It is often used as a 'stream of consciousness', as the character examines aspects of his own psyche. Hamlet's famous monologue (in act III, scene 1) gives us his view of life and mortality, as he struggles with his decision on revenging his father's murder.
It is a quote from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, act III, scene 1. In it, Hamlet is contemplating suicide as a valid alternative to the wretchedness of his position (nephew and stepson to a king that murdered his own brother, Hamlet's father, for the throne).However, unlike with most soliloquies, Hamlet is not alone on stage when he delivers it; his would-be lover Ophelia is listening. This has led some scholars to conclude that it was all an act for her benefit, and may have influenced her own decision to apparently commit suicide later in the play.
