Summary

This quote is from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, and it is spoken by the character Hamlet himself. Here, Hamlet is reflecting on the importance of customs and traditions in society.

Hamlet suggests that the value of a custom should be evaluated based on its merit or actual honor, rather than merely conforming to it because it has always been done that way.
