Answer:
Skepticism.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's revenge play "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge plot of Hamlet, a young prince of Denmark whose father, the king, was murdered by his uncle. The whole play delves into the themes of betrayal, insanity, right and wrong, family ties, and the truth.
Through the quote from Act 2 scene ii of the play, the author Shakespeare not only declares the prison-like state of Denmark and also the mental instability, insecurity, and stress that a person like Hamlet feels. This quotation seems to reflect the fact that Shakespeare lived in a time of skepticism, where there seems to be a lot of insecurities or dilemma in doing things, just like the troubled dilemma of Hamlet in either going forward with his plan or not succumbing to evil.
