In Shakespeare's "Hamlet," the phrase "O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I" reflects Hamlet's deep self-loathing and frustration with his own inaction. He is troubled by his inability to avenge his father's murder, especially when comparing himself to the passionate actor who can summon tears for a fictional story. This moment reveals Hamlet's internal conflict as he grapples with his moral dilemmas and feelings of inadequacy. Ultimately, it highlights his existential crisis and the burden of his contemplative nature.

How does Hamlet's soliloquy differ from Shakespeare's?
I don't think you understand something very basic about writers. They are not necessarily characters in the works they write. We do not worry about whether Edward loves Bella or Stephanie Meyer. We do not ask whether Obi Wan Kenobi speaks better than George Lucas. And Shakespeare does not have soliloquys, although he writes them for his characters like Hamlet. Shakespeare is not a character in any play he wrote (although he is sometimes a character in other peoples' plays, as he is in Shakespeare in Love). In any case, "Hamlet's soliloquy" is meaningless. Hamlet has five soliloquys: "O that this too too solid flesh would melt", "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "Now is the very witching time of night" and "How all occasions do inform against me." Unless you specify which one you are talking about, nobody can answer your question.
Which term defines the famous speech by Hamlet in Shakespeare and play of the same name?
The word you are looking for is probably "soliloquy", although this word does not define all of the Famous Speeches Hamlet gives. It does define "O that this too too solid flesh would melt", "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "Now is the very witching hour of night", and "How all occasions inform against me". But it does not describe what is probably Hamlet's second-most famous speech, "Alas! Poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio" which is of course part of a conversation with Horatio, or the very famous "What a piece of work is man" speech he gives to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.Probably you are thinking of the word "soliloquy" which means a speech by a character which is not intended to be heard by any other characters on stage. A soliloquy might be thought of as an extended aside.

How does Hamlet think he is different from the actor?
You are probably alluding to Hamlet's soliloquy "Oh, what a rogue and peasant slave am I" in which Hamlet saysIs it not monstrous that this player here,But in a fiction, in a dream of passion,Could force his soul so to his own conceitThat from her working all his visage wann'd,Tears in his eyes, distraction in's aspect,A broken voice, and his whole function suitingWith forms to his conceit?He then goes on to say,What would he do,Had he the motive and the cue for passionThat I have? He would drown the stage with tears . . .Hamlet is thinking about the actor's ability to express himself, to act in a way which shows his emotions, even though they are fictitious emotions. Hamlet thinks he cannot do this, that he is a "dull and muddy-mettled rascal" who can "say nothing". This is, of course, ridiculous, because Hamlet does nothing but talk. He talks more than any other Shakespearean character. Ironically in this soliloquy in which he says he can say nothing, he goes on and on. In the next scene he will tell Horatio, "give me that man who is not passion's slave" and will admire him for the exact opposite qualities than those he finds in the player.
Review each of hamlet's soliloquies. Do you believe his assessments of his own problems are accurate Are his assessments of other characters behavior accurate Points Examples from the soliloquies that?
Hamlet's soliloquies reveal a deep introspection and a struggle with existential questions, showcasing his accurate self-assessment regarding his indecision and moral dilemmas. For instance, in "To be, or not to be," he grapples with the nature of existence and the fear of the unknown, reflecting his internal conflict. His critiques of other characters, such as his view of Gertrude's hasty remarriage in "O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I," often highlight his disappointment in their moral failings, suggesting a perceptive understanding of their motivations. However, his own paralysis in action indicates a certain blindness to the consequences of his inaction.
