Richard had lived on the street for almost a year. his days were busy with doing things necessary to survive at a basic level--finding shelter, keeping safe, panhandling for money, getting food and drink, washing, and finding dry clothes. ricard knew that he did not have many chances. a would stress that richard is located at the bottom of the u. s. social class system, and that his low status means that most opportunities are closed to him.

Hamlet's fourth soliloquy is probably his most famous one - "to be or not to be."it is rather different from his previous soliloquies because now he is contemplating something that didn't come up before - suicide. he is thinking whether it is worth it to fight to find his father's murderer when in the end all of them are going to die, so why not die sooner than later. he is contemplating if he should go on fighting or just kill himself and end it all, which is why this soliloquy in particular is rather depressing, hesitant, and gives a deeper insight into hamlet's madness.
