Read the excerpt from act iii of hamlet.
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?
what does this part of the soliloquy reveal about hamlet?
a. he still loves ophelia.
b. he believes the ghost was real.
c. he is planning his revenge.
d. he is contemplating suicide.

The answer is D: He is contemplating suicide.

In this, perhaps the most famous soliloquy in all of Shakespeare´s work, Hamlet is confronting his own doubts as to whether he can withstand the trials of life and the events that have befallen him, and in an apologetic tone, he wonders whether it would be better to endure the bad fortunes of life or if it would be nobler to take one´s own life.
