Which theme is reinforced in the excerpt below from Shakespeare's Hamlet? Rightly to be great

Is not to stir without great argument,
But greatly to find quarrel in a straw
When honor's at the stake. How stand I, then,
That have a father kill'd, a mother stain'd,
Excitements of my reason and my blood,
And let all sleep[?] A. appearance versus realityB. complexity of actionC. impossibility of certaintyD. mystery of death

The theme that is reinforced in the excerpt from Shakespeare's Hamlet is letter B: the complexity of action.

This soliloquy refers to the eaner feelings of Hamlet of taking revenge.

This passage is considered a turning point for Hamlet: he is watching that lots of men will die for fighting for a piece of territory while he that has a lot of reason to fight (because he has a father killed and a mother stained) does nothing at all so that he decides to take revenge.
