Is Hamlet being overdramatic?

In his speech, Hamlet's soul is weighed down by choosing to live or to die. He reminisces between the fear of the afterlife and our thoughts preventing us from acting out; all of which, rationalize his thoughts in his mind to continue to live. Throughout his soliloquy, Hamlet is talking to himself, and expresses how tormented and morbid his thoughts are. Hamlet is a very conflicted being. After all, he continues to see apparitions of his dead father, who asks Hamlet to avenge his death. Furthermore, Hamlet's mother married his father's murderer, Hamlet's uncle, Claudius. He is also torn between the responsibilities of his position in Denmark and showing affection to his loved ones. In this soliloquy, Hamlet enumerates some of the negative aspects of human existence. The "proud man's contumely" or the "flesh to heir", for instance, are prominent negative aspects in his life. Hamlet dwells on life after death, and establishes that human beings are comfortable with the known and fear the unknown. Moreover, his dead father's commentary about life after death has taken a toll on Hamlet. Shakespeare displays Hamlet as a darkened soul, desperate to be released, which reflects the overall tone of the speech. To conclude his soliloquy, Hamlet discusses how our conscience makes us cowards; it is our thoughts which cast us from great things and makes one "lose the name of action." After the speech, Hamlet speaks with Ophelia.
