Explanation: This quotation from Act II, Scene II of "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" by William Shakespeare is a reflection of Humanism because it celebrates humanity over the divine.

This reflects the humanism of the time that believed in reason and intellectual freedom over the divine.
