william shakespeare
what does hamlets speech suggest about his emotional state?
he is very upset.
he is nervous.
he is calm.
he is suspicious.

Explanation:

Hamlet wishes his flesh would melt and questions self - slaughter, which shows strong negative emotions. Nervousness is a milder emotion than what's shown. Calm is the opposite. Suspiciousness isn't indicated. His language (repeated "O God!") and the content (desire for non - existence) show deep upset.

Answer:

He is very upset.
