Question

I left out a few more sentences. I really hope you can check them,too.


1) Hamlet considers the reasons which may lead us to take our own life. He thinks of the punishments and insults which people who are good and quiet take from those who are unworthy.
2) In particular, he refers to political oppression, social discrimination, unreturned love, the delays of justice, insolence and ingratitude.
3) As in sleep there is the possibility of dreaming, Hamlet wonders if there will be dreams after death. It is for this reason that human beings are so reluctant to take their own lives, and would rather bear earthly sorrows and troubles (than fly to others they don’t know of).
