To be or not to be,that is the question.

'To be or not to be,that is the question'written by William Shakespeare . What is meaning?Suppose you face such a situation,you see someone cheating on an exam. The teacher knows that someone is cheating, but she doesn't know who. So the teacher gives all students two choices. One is if someone can admit to cheating,the teacher will only punish the cheater. The other choice is if nobody admits to cheating, the teacher will punish all students and invalidate the exam. So what do you choose? If you choose to tell the teacher who the cheater is, maybe the person who is cheating will hate you forever. But if you don't choose to tell the truth to teacher, it is not fair for other students. So you tell the truth that is 'to be' ,while you keep silent that is 'not to be'.
