    • For ease of comparison the spelling here is updated as above. To be, or not to be, Ay there's the point, To Die, to sleep, is that all? No, to sleep, to dream, aye marry there it goes, For in that dream of death, when we awake, And borne before an everlasting Judge, From whence no passenger ever returned, The undiscovered country, at whose sight The happy smile, and the accursed damn'd. But for this, the joyful hope of this, Who'd bear the scorns and flattery of the world, Scorned by the right rich, the rich cursed of the poor?

    The widow being oppressed, the orphan wrong'd, The taste of hunger, or a tyrants reign, And thousand more calamities besides, To grunt and sweat under this weary life, When that he may his full Quietus make, With a bare bodkin, who would this endure, But for a hope of something after death? Which puzzles the brain, and doth confound the sense, Which makes us rather bear those evils we have, Than fly to others that we know not of.

    The whips and scorns of time

    Aye that, O this conscience makes cowards of us all, Lady in thy orizons, be all my sins remembered. The text of the Second Quarto Q2 is considered the earliest version of the play. In Q2 the whole nunnery scene including 'To be' takes place later in the play than in Q1 where it occurs directly after Claudius and Polonius have planned it [4] and the addition of "Soft you now", suggesting that Hamlet has not or is feigning having not seen Ophelia thus far during his speech.

    The differences in 'To be' are mostly typographic, with increased punctuation and capitalization. To be, or not to be, that is the Question: There's the respect That makes Calamity of long life: Soft you now, The faire Ophelia? Hamlet is commonly depicted as reciting the first line while holding a skull , although both occur at separate times—the soliloquy is done in Act III, Scene I; while the contemplation of the skull is done in Act V, Scene I.

    Much of the plot of sophisticated comedy To Be or Not to Be , by Ernst Lubitsch , is focused on the monologue of Hamlet; in comedy film A King in New York , Charlie Chaplin recites the famous monologue in the shoes of the ambiguous king Shahdov. Hamlet's famous line inspired the title of Kurt Vonnegut's short story "2 B R 0 2 B" The zero is pronounced "naught". In at a debate in Oxford, Black liberation leader Malcolm X quoted the first few lines of the soliloquy to make a point about "extremism in defense of liberty.

    James ' dystopian novel The Children of Men refers to expected or forced mass suicides of the elderly as "Quietus". The film adaptation Children of Men portrays a self-administered home suicide kit, labelled "Quietus". Star Trek ' s sixth film was named after the "Undiscovered Country" line from this soliloquy.

    References are made to Shakespeare during the film including Klingon translations of his works and the use of the phrase "taH pagh, taHbe' ", roughly meaning "whether to continue, or not to continue [existence]. The book and later film What Dreams May Come also derives its name from a line from this soliloquy. From an early age the repressions or his parents, and their refusal to accept his imaginative vitality, had made him aware of the trolls and giants of the unconscious: Still un- happy at Cambridge, for which he had to be crammed and where he passed his time in an alcoholic haze as a second Lord George Hell, he put an end to the proceedings by bombard- ing the master of his college with that gentle- man's collection of china dogs.

    A severe nervous breakdown followed and then the course of psychoanalysis through which, although it was nearly thirty years ago, he still appears to see and judge his tormen- tors. A Clip of Steel, named after an implement provided by his father to prevent nocturnal emissions, is a short book and depends on analytical generalisations rather than on re- living the experience with the imaginative ex- pansiveness of a Denton Welch, Jocelyn prooke or Richard Church.

    If I find it less than totally satisfying this may be because I know Mr Blackburn as a charming companion and share with him not only certain incidents in his story—the long wait before a head- master's thrashing, for instance—but also several other points: I cannot help thinking that the rich material of Mr Blackburn's life, together with his evi- dent interest as a personality, deserved much fuller treatment, but perhaps I am only arguing for my own brand of autobiography.

    As it is, he has given us an exceedingly intelligent and elegantly structured case-history, familiarly sex-ridden but boyish sex is beginning to be a bore , which may be of additional use as a footnote to his poems.

    Apart from such things as a brief but splen- did image of a sycamore tree, and some nice bits of comedy in the description of the prep school dormitory and the luxurious rest home for alcoholics, Mr Blackburn's world tends to be a claustrophobic one: No politics, no atmo- sphere of the 'thirties, little social background, not much landscape and practically no places or buildings, and scarcely any general ideas which are not psychological.

    Very few human beings are recalled with affection or evoked by an endearing or just an enlivening particu- larity. Return to Book Page. Preview — Whips and Scorns by Z. Whips and Scorns by Z.

    The subject—those who would bear—begins in this line. The whips and scorns of time refers more to Hamlet's (or a person's) lifetime than to time as a figurative. In the famous soliloquy 'To be or not to be' Hamlet uses metaphors to negatively perceive time and life itself. Using the word 'whip' gives off a.
