I've never found anything Hamlet utters in the entire play, 'inspiring', much less this soliloguy. He thinks too much. I know it sounds terribly simpleminded but it is just that simple. Germaine Greer insists he's the one character to trust but I simply can't. Too full of himself. Silly pendant, he may be, Polonious' dictums are far more interesting to consider for self help. 😉Thanks!
Over the centuries the soliloquy has certainly been found in some unusual places -https://youtu.be/xpxMxjEogq8

However...I don't like how he is hurtful, how he insults innocent people. But mother nature is not picking and choosing the survivors of cultural collapse, or end of empire, or the withdrawal of society from civilization (Mayan, Roman.) There is unfortunately....innocent parties when a society is corrupt. Hamlet is the figurehead of a corrupt system...and it's collapse takes out the pure of heart as well as the darkest hearts.

The portrayal is symbolic of change...within communities and economies. Reb..."There are so many different interpretations of all Shakespeare which is what makes it so exciting. I think Claudius is the figurehead of Denmark though as he is the king who was willing to kill his own brother in order to get power?

No worries :D I was just wondering if you had a different interpretation
