Quotations and dialogue

Which of the following are people willing to put up with in life to avoid the "undiscovered country" of death?

• Romantic rejection

• Being wronged by those in power

Answer explanation

Hamlet says we are willing to bear "Th'oppressor's wrong" (line 72), "The pangs of despised love" (line 73), and "the proud man's contumely" (line 72) to avoid death, meaning we choose to tolerate being harmed by powerful people, being rejected by those we love, and arrogant insults from prideful people.
