Helen and martin, in a relationship for some time, seem to be leading more separate lives and spending less time as a couple these days. they limit their interactions and don't see each other as a best friend or relational partner. they also have begun to divide their property in terms of what belongs to each of them rather than what is collectively theirs, and they speak in terms of "you" and "me" rather than "we" and "us." the two are most likely engaged in which stage of relational de-escalation?

Hamlet's fourth soliloquy is probably his most famous one - "to be or not to be."it is rather different from his previous soliloquies because now he is contemplating something that didn't come up before - suicide. he is thinking whether it is worth it to fight to find his father's murderer when in the end all of them are going to die, so why not die sooner than later. he is contemplating if he should go on fighting or just kill himself and end it all, which is why this soliloquy in particular is rather depressing, hesitant, and gives a deeper insight into hamlet's madness.
