Answer:

Hamlet's fourth soliloquy is the famous "to be or not to be" speech that he contemplates whether to go forward with his planned murder scheme.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Hamlet", we see the character of the young prince Hamlet trying to avenge his father's death. His soliloquys are the passageway to understand his inner conflicts that he dare not share with others. While the previous speeches can be the same in their plans to kill Claudius, the fourth "<em>to be or not to be</em>" soliloquy is different in his approach of how to get rid of the murderer. Here, he includes himself in the casualties, contemplating sui cide which had not been included in the previous soliloquys. His desperation can be seen in this soliloquy.

<em>To die, to sleep— </em>

<em>No more—and by a sleep to say we end </em>

<em>The heartache and the thousand natural shocks </em>

<em>That flesh is heir to—’tis a consummation </em>

<em>Devoutly to be wished! To die, to sleep. </em>

<em>To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub, </em>

<em>For in that sleep of death what dreams may come .</em>

He seems to be stuck between fighting against his uncle of killing himself so that this pain will end, and he will "sleep" forever. This is the first time he thinks of hurting himself in his plans to avenge his father's murder at the hands of his uncle Claudius.

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.

What do you know about the Americans prior to the era of European exploration? How can you find out?
zzz [600]

Answer:

The history of the peoples of the American continent before their meeting with Europeans in the 16th century developed independently and almost without interaction with the history of the peoples of other continents. Written monuments of ancient America are very scarce, and the available ones have not yet been read in full. Therefore, the history of the American peoples has to be restored mainly according to archaeological and ethnographic data, as well as according to the oral tradition recorded during the period of European colonization.

By the time Europeans invaded America, the level of development of its peoples was uneven in different parts of the continent. The tribes of most of North and South America were at different levels of the primitive communal system, while the peoples of Mexico, Central America, and western South America developed class relations at that time; they created high civilizations. It was these peoples who were conquered at first.
