Question

Read the excerpt from Act III of Hamlet.

. . . who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

Which words does Hamlet use to describe the afterlife?

a weary life
undiscover’d country
puzzles the will
those ills we have

Answer 1

undiscover’d country

He calls the afterlife "the undiscover'd country," emphasizing its unknown, uncharted nature as the source of fear.
