About this Raddle

Today’s theme comes from Act III, Scene I of "Hamlet," when our boy Hammie delivers his big "To be or not to be" soliloquy: "When we have shuffled off this mortal coil…" The phrase takes a pretty pessimistic view of life, though you would probably be pessimistic, too, if your uncle murdered your father to seize the throne and also married your mother.
