The symbol of what the quote nearly means is human and internal struggle which not only makes him relatable but also intelligent to think out what he plans to do. The audience as of what I have gained from the play find this quote to be most important and memorable because it stands for the greter being of a man. In which he finds truth and realization on what others are doing and what must be done in order to re-establish a kingdom of honesty and nobility.
The quote is indirect on it's intent with figurative language and emotion. The language of the soliloquy creates an intelligence to Hamlets character and to the plot. As in the Preformitive Utterance depicts the piece establishes the ground for Hamlet to grow and change into the round character he becomes. At the end of the play the quote is again implied with his actions and emotions in these otherwise horrid scenes, but these were explained earlier as a foreshadowing moment of what was to come of Hamlets entire family.
It is important to understand the meaning of Hamlet when he is quoted, "To be or not to be..." Because it showes the audience and establishes the characteristics of Hamlet in the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. As many find with Shakespears works, plans don't unfold for the antagonist as they are planned to and the ends of his stories are absorbed with death. From this experience we see that Hamlet with his questioning of himself was already planned for the dark side. In a sense I mean that Hamlet was bound to unleash his wrath on his family for killing his father and sinning in every direction. In the quote we see this very flowery language that creates an atmosphere of emotion and understanding throughout the rest of the play.
