Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God! How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable Seem to me all the uses of this world! Fie on't! O fie! 'tis an unweeded garden, That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature Possess it merely. That it should come to this! But two months dead! — nay, not so much, not two: So excellent a king; that was, to this, Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother, That he might not beteem the winds of heaven Visit her face too roughly.

The first soliloquy takes place after King Claudius and Queen Gertrude urge Hamlet in open court to cast off the deep melancholy which, they believe, has taken possession of his mind as a consequence of his father's death. In the opinion of the king and queen, Hamlet has already sufficiently grieved and mourned for his father. Prior to the soliloquy, King Claudius and Queen Gertrude announce their upcoming marriage.

He bemoans the fact that he cannot commit suicide and explains in lines 335-336 that "self-slaughter" is not an option because it is forbidden by God. In the first two lines of the soliloquy, he wishes that his physical self might cease to exist on its own without requiring him to commit a mortal sin. Though saddened by his father's death, the larger cause of Prince Hamlet's misery is Queen Gertrude's disloyal marriage to his uncle. She announces the new marriage when barely a month has passed since his biological father's death. Hamlet mourns that even "a beast would have mourned a little longer." Additionally, he considers this marriage to be an incestuous affair, since his mother is marrying her dead husband's brother. This soliloquy shows Hamlet's deep affection for the late King Hamlet. It also paints the dead king as a loving husband and a respected father and further serves to demonstrate to the audience the hasty nature of Queen Gertrude's second marriage, which she announces without mourning for a respectable period of time. Hamlet scorns his mother, but accuses her of weakness rather than malice with the line: "Fr Thrift, thrift, Horatio. The funeral baked meats Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables. - answerHamlet to Horatio. Gertrude and Claudius' marriage followed Old Hamlet's funeral so closely that they reused the food from the funeral. Horatio is Hamlet's friend, and the marriage was so soon and quick (too soon, a bit suspicious).
