Okay, I've answered this question before with, " To not to be"
However, you asked us to be deep? I don't know if I'm capable of that! However, this particular passage is talking about death. Hamlet is asking himself if he'd rather be dead or alive. He's contemplating suicide at this point. Is it better to live, knowing that his uncle killed his father? Is it better to die, than to live a lie? Perhaps, in some weird way, his suicide would have been his rebellion against those who murdered his father? Who knows? Shakespeare was deeper than I'll ever be. He was fabulous at was he did though, and I for one am I big big fan!

Hamlet was saying whether he, after finding out his uncle (now King) killed his father, should kill himself to save himself any further agony or to live with the agony and avenge his father's death.

To be of servitude or not to be of servitude, distinguishes the path in life that we will walk, maybe even the rain.

They were talking about whether or not they should look so constipated when they act.
