That's the central aspect of his character. He second-guesses himself and debates constantly. Oddly, the one decision he never seems to regret or second-guess is the among the most questionable: his sending of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their deaths.

Why did Shakespeare say to be or not to be?

The line appears in "Hamlet". In the play, Hamlet's father had been murdered, and his brother had usurped the throne. The ghost of Hamlet's father demands that Hamlet take revenge on his terrible murder. Torn between his word for vengeance and his conscience, he ponders wether or not he should go on living, hence, the "To Be Or Not To Be" soliloquy.

What Is it to be or not to be?

Hamlet is contemplating suicide by saying, "To die, or not to die" (Act 3, Scene 1). He is torn between facing the troubles of the world/ corruption of people ("to suffer the slings of arrows of outrageous fortunes") or kill himself. He see death as a sleep which alleviates his despair and heartache after his: 1. father was poisoned by Claudius 2. mother Gertrude hastily marrying Claudius 3. Claudius becoming the usurped king, thus stealing the throne from Hamlet 4. Ophelia, Hamlet's "girlfriend" who was driven by insanity, drowned herself. 5. Friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern betraying Hamlet by spying on him. 6. Killing Polonius, a councilor to Claudius, by accident. 7. Being torn whether to be an agent of justice and avenge his father's death, or to let it go and see how things turn out. Conclusion: To be or not to be, is just a soliliquy sentence that Hamlet was uttering to himself deciding whether to kill himself to end the inner turmoil or to face the calamity and live on.

Many of Hamlet's problems stem from?

If there was a simple answer to this, everyone would have forgotten about the play long ago. Here are some suggestions. 1. Hamlet has a defective character, in that he is indecisive which does not change or alter during the play and which prevents him from carrying out his revenge. Sort of hard to reconcile with his decisiveness during the pirate attack and in the Closet Scene. 2. Hamlet loves his mother too much and is secretly jealous of his stepfather. He would have approached the matter more sensibly had he not had this Oedipal problem. This problem is apparent before he even hears about the ghost, in his "O that this too too solid flesh" speech. 3. Hamlet is a man caught between the medieval duty of revenge and the modern sensibility that such behaviour leads to chaos. Torn between these poles, he sometimes acts like a medieval man and sometimes like a modern man. 4. Hamlet is actually insane and delusional. He has projected his hatred of the king into the mouth of the ghost. The fact that Claudius did actually kill Hamlet's father is a coincidence. 5. Hamlet's problems all come from Claudius. He is the villain of the piece, and caused the problems by killing Hamlet Sr., then by planting spies on Hamlet (including Polonius who is killed because he is a spy), then by sending Hamlet to England, and finally by arranging the fencing match with Laertes. Hamlet is thrown that way and this while trying to dodge these constant attacks.
