Answer: Hamlet appears to be despondent and suicidal at the start of the soliloquy. This may be seen in his earnest wish to die, "O! that this too solid flesh would dissolve!"
Explanation: Hamlet is acutely aware, however, that his flesh is firm and durable, and that, no matter how much he loves it, it shows no indication of melting into "dew."
The correct answer is argumentation, or argumentative writing.
It is a type of writing where the author is giving his or her arguments as to why they believe their position is the correct one. He or she is explaining why their ideas should be respected, even though they are controversial and unlike those of other people.
