Hello!
For AP English Literature, I've to remember Hamlet's soliloquy of "to be or not to be".
I'll type out here as much as I know thus far! rofl
I literally tried every technique there is to remember or memorize.
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 the 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,
The 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 the unworthy takes
when he himself might his quietus makes
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 traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all
and thus the native hue of resolution
is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought
and enterprises of great pitch and moment
with this regard, their currents turn awry
and lose the name of action...
