This idea comes from Hamlet's soliloquy in Act IV, Scene 4.

In this speech, he says that sleeping and eating are the actions of beasts; people should rise above that, since people have been given "capability and godlike reason." It stands to reason that failing to use reason is degrading to the nobility of humans.

Then he considers great armies, and he thinks how men will wage a bloody war over something practically worthless ("an eggshell"). This is also degrading to the nobility of humans, to wage a bloody war over nothing.

For Hamlet, eating, sleeping, acting without thinking, and provoking wars are activities that degrade the nobility of human beings.

We can reach this answer through the following information:

  • Hamlet claims that human beings are superior creatures.
  • This superiority exists because human beings are rational and have received the divine grace to think logically.
  • Therefore, all activities that are done without using reason and logic are degrading to human nature.
  • For him, eating and sleeping are activities that do not use reason and that make human beings equal to animals.
  • He also believes that wars are also degrading activities, as it is not rational to cause so much expense, pain, and suffering to the people themselves.

It is important to remember that Hamlet is the protagonist of "Hamlet" the play written by Shakespeare, which shows Prince Hamlet trying to avenge his father's death.
