Not immediately. Indeed not for a long time. In Act 1 Scene 2 he says "O . . . that the everlasting had not fixed his canon 'gainst self-slaughter" which shows that he has thought about suicide and wishes that it wasn't a ticket straight to Hell, but there is no question in his mind but that it is a ticket straight to Hell. This is before he sees the ghost, who confirms that he is in Purgatory, so there is a Hell alright. Basically Hamlet has rejected suicide before the play starts and his rejection only becomes stronger with time. When in Act 3 he talks about people who might end their life "with a bare bodkin" if it were not for "the fear of something after death, the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns" he's not talking about himself, since he has talked to a traveller who has returned from death, and found out you pay for your sins there. Hamlet is talking about other people in this speech in Act 3, not himself.
suicide
hes not really unstable but he reflects and ponders alot showing he is introspective
That would be Hamlet's "To be or not to be..." soliloquy, where Hamlet contemplates suicide.
he is contemplating suicide. to be alive or dead.
The play is Hamlet, by William Shakespeare. These are the first words in Hamlet's famous monologue, in which he contemplates suicide.
Hamlet's "To be or not to be" speech is written in a serious tone. Hamlet isn't contemplating suicide, instead he is philosophically pondering the purpose of life for a human being.
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.
Polonius (stabbed from behind a tapestry), Hamlet (poisoned by Laertes' sword), Laertes (also poisoned by his own sword), Gertrude (drinks Claudius' poison)and Claudius (stabbed, and forced to drink his poison) all die onstage. Ophelia (drowned), Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (hung?) all die offstage.
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.
Yes. To exist or not to exist is basically what he is asking himself in that statement.
