SUMMARY
PARAPHRASE
Summary
- The speaker remembers the times when they suffered from love but declares to have found love again.
So many nights, my tears fell harder than rain Scared I would take my broken heart to the grave I’d rather die than have to live in a storm like before But goddamn, you got me in love again
Paraphrase
- At night, the speaker cried profusely, was heartbroken and thought pain was irreparable. They would have preferred to die instead of continue suffering. However, they are newly in love.
So many nights, my tears fell harder than rain Scared I would take my broken heart to the grave I’d rather die than have to live in a storm like before But goddamn, you got me in love again
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
Hamlet’s soliloquy, Act 3, Scene I
Text 2:
Summary
Hamlet reflects on whether to live or die and considers the consequences of each.
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
Interpretation / Argument
Hamlet realizes that he does not
really have a choice: whatever he
decides, he is already doomed.
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
