The quotation which is part of Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” soliloquy is option B.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.Hamlet's greatest ans most known soliloquy is the source of more than a dozen everyday expressions.Basing on Hamlet's speech, we can notice that his notions of "being" and "not being" are rather complex. He doesn't simply ask if life or death is preferable; it's hard to clearly distinguish the two "being" comes to look a lot like "not being," and vice versa.
