Shakespeare was wrong—“To be, or not to be” is not the question at all.
There are other options beyond that simple contradiction. For my taste, I’d
have Hamlet turn to the audience and say: “Knowing that I am a child of God,
what need I do and be to live up to this potential? That is the question.”
Now, I understand that such an edit would hopelessly ruin one of the
greatest literary masterpieces of all time. Nevertheless, if I were writing
a script for you, that is how I would word it.
