In Act 3, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," the protagonist grapples with existential questions and the morality of life and death, revealing his deep-seated despair and uncertainty following his father's death. He reflects on the betrayal of his mother, Gertrude, and his uncle, Claudius, whose hasty marriage has compounded his grief. This scene highlights Hamlet's internal conflict and disillusionment with the world around him, as he contemplates the nature of existence itself. His famous soliloquy, "To be or not to be," encapsulates his struggle with these themes.

Horatio, in Act 1 scene 1. Hamlet doesn't see it until scene 4. It has to be this way because in scene 2 Horatio tells Hamlet that he has seen the Ghost.
