Hamlet's famous soliloquy asks the question, what happens after death, and Hamlet's guesses and presumptions are not at all comforting. He likens it to a dream state, and asks, "what dreams?" -- rather a disturbing question. As such, he pains suicide as an uneasy choice at best.

Hamlet said that most people don't commit suicide out of fear of what is waiting for us after death. We don't know if what happens after death is better or worse than what is happening now.
