Read the excerpt from Act III of Hamlet.
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
What does this part of the soliloquy reveal about Hamlet?
He still loves Ophelia.
He believes the ghost was real.
He is planning his revenge.
He is contemplating suicide.

He is contemplating suicide.
The opening lines ("To be, or not to be") directly pose the question of existence vs. nonexistence — whether to endure life's sufferings or end them — so Hamlet is weighing suicide, not declaring love for Ophelia, affirming the ghost, or actively plotting revenge.
