What I think about when thinking about Act III of Hamlet

Like many others, the first thing that comes to mind is the "To be or not to be" speech. Hamlet is seriously considering suicide and vents out his thoughts. I find it humorous that near the end he noticed Ophelia's presence and quickly attempts to change the meaning of the speech.

Hamlet also had the chance to kill his uncle but he didn't. He confronts his mother about the sin she has committed and tells her about his father's ghost. Polonius gets stabbed through the curtain and Hamlet calmly drags his body out after speaking with his mother.
