Hamlet, Part 3: Figurative Language and Allusions

Question 2 • CA-English Language Arts 12 A

What does Hamlet mean when he refers to the "undiscover’d country"?

Answer
A
the afterlife
B
Denmark
C
foreign lands
D
his own mind

Explanation

In Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” soliloquy, the “undiscover’d country” is the place people go after death. Hamlet calls it undiscovered because no one returns to tell the living what the afterlife is like. So he means the afterlife, not Denmark, foreign lands, or his own mind.
