<햄릿>의 가장 유명한 독백이다. 김정환 역 <햄릿>을 다 봤다. 함께 영문판도 봤고,로렌스 올리비에의 영화도 봤다. 여석기의 <나의 햄릿 강의>까지...케네스 브레너의 영화도 틈틈이 보고 있다. 케네스 브레너는 소장해도 결코 아깝지 않을 듯 하다.
한동안 <햄릿> 멀티보기를 한 셈이다. 그런데 개인적 심사가 복잡해서 리뷰 쓰기가 어렵다. 유투브에서 햄릿의 독백만 모아봤는데... 햄릿 역의 순서는 이렇겠지.

To be, or not to be--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep--
No more--and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--
To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. -- Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia! -- Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.
