Hamlet is considering to commit suicide or not to commit suicide (to be or not to be, respectively). Then he makes a long speech of how death is very lonesome and it is dark. His final decision is to not commit suicide and go along with his plan to take down Claudius.
Hamlet says this in Act I Scene 4 of Hamlet. He is talking to the ghost of his father who up to this point hasn't said a word. Hamlet is trying to figure out how to address him in order to make him speak. If he calls him by his name, Hamlet, will he respond? How about father? King? Royal Dane? Whatever he says, the ghost starts talking right away.
People have being trying to figure this one out for 400 years. There is no simple answer, and the play has been described as "inexhaustible"
Hamlet
avenge his father's death.
Hamlet: My father! Methinks I see my father! Horatio: Where, my lord? Hamlet: In my mind's eye, Horatio.

It was said by Prince Hamlet in Shakespear's play Hamlet.
"Where is your father?" (said to Ophelia)
Polonius said this to Ophelia.
if you are asking this for, say, a homework assignment, then I recommend you figure it out on your own, as your teacher could find this easily.The ghost in Shakespeare's Hamlet is Hamlet's father, who is dead. In Hamlet, Hamlet's father is killed by Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet's father's ghost (the ghost) comes back to basically tell Hamlet what happened, and to tell him (more or less) to have revenge on Hamlet's uncle.
he is contemplating suicide. to be alive or dead.
