1. HAMLET

2.  "This above all: to thine own self be
true." (Act I, Scene III)
 Polonius is doling out sage advice to his son,
Laertes.
 Overall, Polonius's advice helps reveals a
theme of irony that threads throughout the
play. Neither Polonius nor Laertes heeds the
advice that Polonius gives in this scene, and
both perish.

3.  "To be, or not to be: that is the question." (Act III,
Scene I)
 In the beginning of his fourth, and best known,
soliloquy Hamlet muses about the dilemma of suicide.
 He wonders if one route is "nobler" than the next.
 The tone of Hamlet's soliloquy is more meditative
than angry, but he does seriously consider suicide.
 He relates his personal struggle to the struggles that
all of mankind shares. Given that you don't know what
happens after you die, Hamlet realizes that death
wouldn't be the ideal escape he craves.

4.  "Frailty, thy name is woman!" (Act I, Scene II)
 Hamlet speaking
 The "woman" he specifically refers to is his
mother.
 Hamlet felt she was weak, or not strong enough
to mourn his father longer.
 Hamlet goes on further to say that not even an
animal or beast, who has no reasoning skills,
would have abandoned the mourning so quickly.
 All in all, this shows how angry and confused
Hamlet is by his mother's remarriage.

5.  "The lady doth protest too much,
methinks." (Act III, Scene II)
 Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude speaks
 She feels that the play-queen seems insincere
because she repeats so dramatically that she'll
never remarry due to her undying love of her
husband.
 The play-queen, in fact, does remarry.
 It is unclear whether Gertrude recognizes the
parallel between herself and the play-queen;
Hamlet certainly feels that way.This moment
has an irony that is shown throughout the play.
