Final Paragraph

Sometimes the extreme challenges and situations that a person is placed in can impact their perspective of life overall, like when Hamlet is so depressed that he is contemplating suicide. This is evident when he exclaims, "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-" (Shakespeare II.i.64-68). If Hamlet is in a place where he is seriously considering killing himself, he is definitely not stable emotionally and mentally. Therefore, his logic cannot be trusted. It is tragic that a mind capable of making normal choices based off of a reasonable logic is affected in such a way that even the darkest of thoughts, like suicide, is considered. He even questions if it is more "noble" to suffer in the mind than actually face problems. His life is in the hands of his unstable mind, which is a tragic situation. His lack of logic is killing him on the inside since he could be the cause of his own death if  he chooses suicide. However, it is not only his logic that was changed for the worse, but his desires where altered as well.
