Explanation:

Studying the Book "Hamlet" by Williams Shakespeare, one can conclude that Hamlet is thinking about whether he should continue to suffer from the difficulties of life, or whether he should not live. This can be seen from several excerpts from the play as shown below:

1. "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" (3, 1, 56-60).

In this quotation, it is evident that Hamlet is thinking whether he should live and suffer the hardships that his life has to offer him or die in order to end the suffering. From this, we can see that Hamlet believes that life is synonymous with suffering.

2. The "whips and scorn of time, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of disprized love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of thworthy takes" (3, 1, 70-74)

These show the sufferings Hamlet sees in life. He wonders if living is worth enduring these numerous pains.

From these we can see that the correct option is B. Hamlet is thinking whether he should continue to suffer from the difficulties of life
