Understanding Hamlet's Delay Through Munir's Words: Comparative Analysis of 'To be, or not to be: that is the Question', and Munir Niazi's Poem: 'Hamaisha Dair Kar Dayta Hoon'
This article explores to understand Hamlet's delay through similarities of action by analyzing Hamlet's soliloquy: To be, or not to be: that is the question: and Munir Niazi's poem 'Hamaisha Dair Kar Dayta Hoon'. The qualitative study unfolds Hamlet, a visualized character, and Munir Niazi, Urdu and Punjabi poet, as two intellectually active personalities having an intensity of feelings coupled with action found in both the literary pieces, which ultimately shed light on their philanthropic and humanitarian nature as individuals. The study also exposes that both the personalities have a synonymous characteristic; action manifested through inaction found in the soliloquy: 'To be or not to be is the question of life...' and 'Hamaisha Dair Kar Dayta Hoon', by revealing that both are though philosophical but full of worries about benighted future if action taken goes wrong and both the utterances predict a commitment to action, but that is to be taken honourably.
