Extract

This adaptation of Hamlet’s soliloquy describes a "dilemma’: to study and thus destroy or to preserve and thus severely restrict study. And, just as Hamlet was not expecting Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to choose for him the alternative of "not to be’, so we cannot expect a simple right or wrong solution.
