OPHELIA
O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword;
The expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mould of form,
The observed of all observers, quite, quite down!
And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That suck'd the honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh;
That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy: O, woe is me,
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword;
The expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mould of form,
The observed of all observers, quite, quite down!
And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That suck'd the honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh;
That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy: O, woe is me,
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!

3.1.56-88
You will find Hamlet’s third soliloquy chunked
below, where he makes arguments against
“self-slaughter”. In the corresponding numerical section, summarize in
your own words Hamlet’s thoughts.
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.
|
1.
|
To die-
to sleep-
No
more; and by a sleep to say we end
The
heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That
flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly
to be wish'd.
|
2.
|
To die-
to sleep.
To
sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!
For in
that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we
have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must
give us pause.
|
3.
|
Who
would these fardels bear,
To
grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But
that the dread of something after death-
The
undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No
traveller returns- puzzles the will,
And
makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than
fly to others that we know not of?
|
4.
|
Thus conscience
does make cowards of us all,
And
thus the native hue of resolution
Is
sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And
enterprises of great pith and moment
With
this regard their currents turn awry
And
lose the name of action
