To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?

Hamlet, of course, is a tragedy — one of the greatest tragedies of all literature. As for the “slings and arrows,” let’s hope the arrows on this chart have a happier outcome than the Shakespeare play.
