Best Answer

He is trying to decide what to do about the murder of his father. Does he force the issue with his uncle? Does he go to his mom? "To be or not to be, that is question. To suffer the slings of outrages fortune. To sleep, to dream." Does he kill him self? Or does he get revenge? As you know, he goes for revenge, but he goes through this torment before he decides and by the end of the speech he has decided.

This is not a poem. They are lines from his play of Hamlet. Hamlet is trying to decide what he is going to do after he finds out his uncle murdered his father from his father's ghost. He questions himself and finally decides that he will play insane until he can get even for the death of his father.
