The words "To be or not to be" are the opening lines of a rather lengthy soliloquy spoken by Hamlet (in the play of the same name written by William Shakespeare), as he contemplates outloud, his very existence and his options after learning the truth of his father's death (murder), and his mother's and uncle's complicity in the act.
