As he’s finishing his speech, Hamlet says, "Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the native hue of resolution i

s sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought…". He’s speaking in general terms about mankind here, but this line also directly applies to his own life. How so? Explain.

Answer:

This soliloquy of Hamlet is taken from Act III scene i of the play where he gave his famous "To be or not to be" speech.

Explanation:

Taken from Act III scene i of the tragedy play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, the plot revolves round the revenge plan of the young prince Hamlet against his uncle and step father Claudius. This speech refers to the human attitude towards death and the fear of actually dying, even though we are all destined to die one day.

Right along the lines of his famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy, the speech shows him faltering in his attempts to commit sui cide. But even though he is referring to the universal fear of saying among men, he is also indirectly referring to his own fear or reluctance to actually go forward with his proposed plan. he wants to avenge his father's murder, and get treated right as he should be. He wants to teach his uncle/ step-father/ king Claudius and his mother Queen Gertrude a lesson but he also knows it is risky and will possibly be disastrous for him too. He is rethinking his decision of doing what he had planned, admitting that "<em>the native hue of resolution  Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,.......  their currents turn awry,  And lose the name of action". </em>
