The title is taken from the famous soliloquy from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
This is shown especially by Shakespeare in the famous soliloquy which starts, "To be, or not to be: that is the question...".
(You're never quite sure he isn't going to throw himself up against the proscenium arch and mangle a famous soliloquy.)

Yet, as Polonius's eventual murderer stated in the most famous soliloquy of all time, "there's the rub."
Even in the famous 3.1 soliloquy, Hamlet gives voice to the conflict.
