As I discussed in my essay, Hamlet's to be or not to be speech is a direct view of his internal conscious. He is so overwhelmed with emotion that he is now debating his own existence, whether to give up avenging his father or follow through with his plan of exposing the king. Hamlets "madness" is only internal, hence why his speech was written as a soliloquy, but his action is distinct. He finally resolves in his conflict and beckons Ophelia to remember his sins for he will follow through with the play he had set up for the king.
