To continue to exist or end it all, is the dilemma, Hamlet struggles with. To commit suicide or go on with the struggles one ill be forced to bare is something he can't seem to make a firm decision on. It isn't necessarily his personal decision to commit suicide, but a general thought of the process whether to or not. He contemplates it all.
Hamlet is struggling with his father's death, his mother's marriage to his uncle, appearances from a ghost, and the murder of his father coming from his uncle. This would drive anyone to insanity and for Hamlet is not much different. He contemplates suicide in general, in a way of sorting all these issues out. What needs to be known is that it won't solve the problems that are still left on earth, you are merely removing yourself from the equation.
By Hamlet coming suicide, it would not show a good example to those who look up to him. He has been given a privilege at birth, and with that privilege comes responsibility. He will not only be hurting himself but all who love him. He will hurt his mother, his friends, and the girl, Ophelia, he has formed a bond with. With suicide he would be put into the category of might I say, coward. He would rather take himself away from the equation rather himself figuring it out. Suicide is not an option for Hamlet. He has too much ahead of him, and struggles to deal with. n the end he will come out victorious.
