What Shakespearean play features the famous line, “To be, or not to be, that is the question”?

  1. Hamlet

  2. Macbeth

  3. Othello

  4. Julius Caesar

The correct answer is: Hamlet

Option B, Macbeth, is incorrect because it features the line “Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow”, not “To be, or not to be, that is the question”. Option C, Othello, is incorrect because it features the line “But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve, for daws to peck at”, not “To be, or not to be, that is the question”. Option D, Julius Caesar, is incorrect because it features the line “Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!”, not “To be, or not to be, that is the question”. Therefore, the only correct answer is A, Hamlet.
