In Hamlet's soliloquy he discusses death, it's pros and cons, and consequences in depth. His conclusion, that the dreams death may bring are too frightening to face, characterizes him as a coward as well as an intellectual. He is obviously very intelligent, having gone to college, and proves his intelligence by creating a master plan to avenge his father and taking painfully long to make any decision. Yet, he is still cowardly because he cannot muster the courage to kill himself even though he obviously doesn't want to live any longer. Another instance that he comes across as cowardly is when he won't kill Claudius while he is praying because he's afraid he will send him to heaven.

The question To be or not to be” is wholly about the life or death of the person. The person has no permanent place in the world. It has a temporary place and that he should enjoy happiness and live with joy.

In Hamlet's play, he talks about the life and death of a person, its pros and cons, and the consequences or the impacts and effects of it. His conclusion in the play is that death in dreams is too frightening and deadly. The real death has reality and the consequences or the after-effects. Death is the phase of a situation that can be faced by the strong and the brave ones not by the cowards.  Yet he is too cowardly because he has no dare to kill himself. Another example that shows his cowardness is the moment he refused to kill Claudius as he was praying to God, he thought he will send him to heaven.
