In "Hamlet's" soliloquy Hamlet is contemplating on life. He wonders and questions if life is worth living or if it would be better to die. He is a man torn by the misconceptions in life and the dilemma if it is better to escape from one's troubles than to stay and cope through them.
"For in that sleep of death what dreams may come / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil / Must give us pause."
Hamlet is also wrestling with the decision of taking his uncle's life. He is uncertain if she should do it or not. His moral self is demonstrating ambiguity with his immoral self for murder is wrong and final.
Hamlet is a man torn by his father's death, his uncle's crime, and the overwhelming knowledge that the outcome of his life and those around him rests in his won hands. He knows he should avenge his father's death, but the decision is so momentous that he is torn mentally as he struggles to make the decision.
