SBS 0 #13 June 12, 2002 TO BE OR NOT TO BE?--------------There is no choice...anything that is cannot not be. The choice is whether to acknowledge the truth of what one is, or to deny the self.:-)Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinkster 0 #14 June 12, 2002 In the context of the play, act, and scene in which those words are spoken, it is my opinion that those words are best interpreted as essentially saying "to act or not to act, that is the question." so in light of that of course I must say "ACT!" which of course Hamlet does.Edit: Actually the next few words let u know what he means. U dont need the context of the rest of the play, etc. (duh) hehe."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?""

SBS 0 #21 June 12, 2002 Paul - A) He asked "To be or not to be? What do you think?" He did not ask "What did Hamlet mean by these words?" (In which case, I would not have posted anything, cause I don't know shit about Shakespeare).B) If one is contemplating suicide, then they can choose not to be alive, but they cannot choose not to be. Even that which is imaginary "is". So, even if Hamlet chose to kill himself, he would not not be, but would simply be deceased, just as a unicorn cannot not be...it "is" imaginary. I would venture to put a definition on "To be" as that which can have a definition. ANYTHING that has ever been so much as imagined can have a definition, thus making it impossible for that which has occupied a fraction of a thought to "not be".:-)Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #25 June 12, 2002 QuoteScrew Hamlet...Dude, are you nuts? Hamlet f@%$# rocks! It's so wonderfully dark. Lust for power, insanity, suicide, political intrigue. It's my favorite Shakespeare play by far.I really liked the Kenneth Branagh take. He does a perfect job of making you think he's totally bonkers one second and then perfectly sane the next. I haven't seen the Mel Gibson version, but I heard he did an absolutely fantastic job as well. Sort of up his alley character-wise as well (after all, isn't that sort of what Riggs' issue was)?"Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
