Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the dilemma of a young prince in his efforts to exact revenge on his father's murderer. The young prince Hamlet want to take revenge on his uncle/step-father Claudius but could not do it easily.

The given excerpt is from Act III scene i where Hamlet gave his famous soliloquy "To be or not to be" speech. In this speech, he ponders on how he could do his deed and wonders what happens after one dies. But then, even though he thinks that "To die, to sleep—", he wonders what really happens in the afterlife. He admits that even if to sleep is just to dream, it could also give us dreams which can be worry-some, for no one knows what type of dreams will come. He is rather uncertain of what will happen in the life after death.
