No not entirely. Hamlet's soliloquy is about the contemplation of suicide. You could say that action vs. inaction plays a role in his contemplation, he curses himself for being indecisive, but the soliloquy is about his suicide.

to be or not to be isn't about death, it's about action vs. inaction of killing claudius.

Well, since he refers to it in the soliloquy (bare bodkin), he probably thought it best to have it in hand (maybe for those who would not get it otherwise).

yeah i agree...

my question: the acting is obviously good, but why would he need the dagger for dramatic effect if he was already up on that high wall? Couldn't death be symbolized in the drop alone? the dagger seems unnecessary

Like Stallone would recite: "To be...or what?"
