The soliloquy is performed in Act III‚ scene i. It has historically been considered as the most renowned of all quotes in Shakespearean literature‚ perhaps in all literature. That being said‚ much of the soliloquy signifies paradox. Hamlet is questioning life and death‚ being alive and not being alive.
