Sorry Keith, but you just don't get it. This is the kind of shit you loved when they had it in "300." I guess Hamlet could've just said, "Spartans! Prepare for glory!" Much simpler that way.
To be honest, though, while the entire soliloquy is good, the line, "To be or not to be," has very little meaning in and of itself.

It's like taking a few words out of the beginning of a quote and claiming that's the whole thing, just like Yogi Berra.
