At the play The Mousetrap Ophelia says it is "twice two months" since the senior Hamlet died. After that there is time for Hamlet to leave, for Laertes to hear in France that his father has died, and to return to Denmark, reconcile with Claudius, hear that Hamlet is returned, plan a Fencing match and put it into motion: at least a couple of weeks more. It is about four-and-a-half months later.

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.
Does the ghost cause hamlet to dwell morbidly on the afterlife?
William Shakespeare did not write novels. Hamlet is not a novel. It's a play. They are very very different. Novels are to be read. Plays are to be watched. Hamlet is considered one of the greatest works of literature because it touches on a great many themes. A few of the major ones are "What is the point of life?", "Is revenge justified?", "What is sanity?", "How should we deal with death?", "How should children deal with parents who go wrong?" etc. etc. I recommend you immediately watch a movie of the play or, better yet, buy a ticket to see it played live at a theatre.
