In the soliloquy by Hamlet, he is debating the decision of suicide and whether or not he should go through with it. He feels that the reason why people will put up with the struggle of life sometimes, because people are scared of what will happen after death. Also Hamlet is frustrated with his own weaknesses and for not getting revenge of his father. Even though he might be mad at himself for not taking his Uncles life, he seems more interested in the idea of taking his own life.
Hamlet can also be portrayed as going insane, but it also seems some what understandable for him to be acting this way. His father had just been killed and his mother had married that man that killed his father. Now everyone was trying to get him to get over it and act like nothing had happened. He has the thoughts that he wants to escape, but doesn't know what to except once he does.
Suicide is something that is on everyones mind, but most people won't act on those feelings. Hamlet expressed these emotions during a tough time he was having. I hope that Hamlet doesn't act on this ideas and faces his problems.
