"to be or not to be"

Hamlet's soliloquies comprise an important portion of the reading. Discuss why they are important and what function they serve, based on your readings so far.

Hamlet's soliloquies are important because they help us understand what is going on in Hamlet's head. They help us get inside his brain and know what he is really thinking not just what he says to other people. Hamlet figures out that Claudius was the true murder of his father by asking for the play to be done in front of Claudius. Hamlet was able to see the truth and know that Claudius really did kill Hamlet's father.
