MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

1 min • 1 pt

According to Hamlet, what is one reason he doesn't choose to die by suicide?

He must take over the throne of Denmark.

He must be strong for Gertrude.

What happens after death may be worse than life.

Revenge must come before anything else.

Answer explanation

In lines 77-89, Hamlet says "But that the dread of something after death,/The undiscovered country from whose bourn/No traveler returns, puzzles the will,/And makes us rather bear those ills we have,/Than fly to others that we know not of?/Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,/And thus the native hue of resolution/Is sickled o'er with the pale cast of thought." The evil we know, in this case, hell on earth, is better than evil we don't know - what is waiting for us in the after life.
