Much more important is the illustration following the rhetorical fulcrum (first word of 22) but, itself introducing a phrase that plunges man into the crucial question: the fear of the unknown. Expressed by means of the indefinite end of (23), just under life (end of 22): something after death, immediately followed by the definite beginning of (24) The undiscover’d country, it raises the ghost. Man (Columbus) had come back from the bourn of an as yet undiscovered country just a hundred years before. There was nothing to fear on the Planet any more. Earth is no longer what matters. The new frontier is religious. And religion in Shakespeare’s days gave contradictory clues to the mystery. Was there a Purgatory, or was there not? Did one side with Luther, with Rome, or sit in-between? What happened to those tormented souls that were seen walking about?

Interesting a little maybe.
