What were Shakespeare's most popular plays?
The answer to this changes over time. In Shakespeare's lifetime, it was probably Titus Andronicus. In the 19th century two of Shakespeare's most popular plays were Henry VIII and King John because they allowed for a lot of pageantry. Nowadays people will mostly answer one of the plays they studied at school, probably Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.
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.
