Hamlet and First Psychiatrist in “Hamlet”

HHamlet

[on a psychiatrist's couch] It's just that anywhere I go it's the same old thing. All anyone wants me to say is "to be or not to be".

FPFirst Psychiatrist

That is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer slings and arrows...

HHamlet

Yes. It's either that or "Oh, this too too solid flesh"...

FPFirst Psychiatrist

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt/Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!/All the everlasting have not fixed his canon on self-slaughter!

HHamlet

Yes, all that sort of thing, and I'm just really...

FPFirst Psychiatrist

Do the bit about "Alas poor Yorick"!

HHamlet

No, I'm sick of it! I want to get away from all that. I want to make something of my life.

FPFirst Psychiatrist

No, I don't know that bit.
