To Be, or Not To Be

Java "program" parodying Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" speech, written for an English 12 assignment.

No, it is not actually an executable Java program, nor was it ever intended to be.

Reference

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.
-- Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Act 1, Scene 1, Lines 57-70
