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? To die, to sleep

No more; and, by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to. `tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish`d. 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. There`s the respect

That makes calamity of so long life;

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man`s contumely

The pangs of dispriz`d love, the law`s delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? who would fardeis bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The underciver`d country from whose bourn

No travelers return puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;

Ant 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 away,

And lose the name of action.

Обожаю Гамлета... правда, несмотря на достаточные познания в английском, предпочитаю читать на русском... мне не слишком нравится стиль Шекспира...

Гамлета лучше читать в оригинале. Я, конечно, периодически заползал в словарь, но Шекспир того стоит. ИМХО, почувствовать это можно только в английском ворианте.
