Hamlet always questions that life is evil / bad and can turn on a dime ("the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune") and of course his whole rant about women being evil "god hath given you one face and you make yourselves another . . . you jig and you amble and you nickname gods creatures . ." Then, he goes so far as to say he IS evil and wishes that his mother had never had him. He wants Ophelia to "get thee to a nunnery" because he cannot handle the thought of anymore evil people being born. ("breed a race of sinners.)He also says finally to Laertes, "I pray thee take thy hands from my neck . . .I have something within in me that you . . .should fear."
