The Soliloquy of the work Hamlet is so interesting.... It let me think
the speeches that we are doing by ourselves… We can never lie to
ourselves and in fact in here by questioning the life order and the
acceptance of the death… Also he is questioning himself.
This is Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, and he is rather pompous. In my mind this soliluquy should be acted in a pensive but not dramatic manner & the lines should be uttered as naturally as possible, in just about every version of Hamlet I've seen it's a melodramatic failure. I reckon it is not the manner that denotes the significance of these lines, but the lines themselves.
On the other hand, Hamlet saying this to himself in front of a mirror is quite a good idea.
