He debated between the choice of either dying or living, but then he questions the mere death by a dagger is something that is too frugal for the life that one has already lived. The speech shows his internal dilemma in what he really wanted to do.

Explanation:

The "To Be Or Not To Be" soliloquy of Hamlet is from Act III scene i of the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare. This soliloquy also presents an insight into the internal dilemma of the young prince over his decision to exact revenge on his father's killer.

In his soliloquy, Hamlet talks of his dilemma whether to kill himself or to live. He questions whether it is better to let things go as they are or fight against all the troubles in one's life. Dying is just like sleeping, to "end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to". And even though it is easier to end everything with just a simple flash of the dagger into oneself, he again considers if one is really struggling through life just to end everything with a "bare bodkin".

This speech of Hamlet reveals how he actually feels stuck in his decision, whether to be rid of all troubles by ending his life, or maybe hanging on to life. He also reveals his internal struggle within himself as to what he really ought to do so, whether it will be better to kill himself or live and try to make things right by going forward with his revenge plan.

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? question 5 options: dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
