As the soliloquy at that point is indeed speaking about death (Hamlet is contemplating suicide) it suggests that he is talking about the afterlife - from which no one has ever returned - except of course Jesus Christ. (Allegedly mind you...)

How long can a UK citizen stay in the US without a visa?

You need a visa to even enter the United States. Without one you can be deported immediately.This is incorrect.The tourist must have a passport to enter the country, not a visa. Typically, the "stamp" in your passport is good for 90 days. If the traveler wants to exceed those 90 days, they must apply to have an extended stay, and at that time, can also apply for a visa.A visa is completley different from visiting. A passport grants you access to a country, but you cannot work in that country. A visa would allow that traveler to work in the country he/she is visiting.


How consciousness affects behaviour?

"...the dread of something after death,The undiscovered country from whose bournNo traveler returns, puzzles the willAnd makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?Thus conscience does make cowards of us all..."-- Hamlet (III, i, 80 - 85)Consciousness ultimately leads to the knowledge that we are going to die, and there's nothing we can do about it.Nonetheless, consciousness also makes us human. It gives us self control and allows us to gain more 'enlightenment' from our lives, however brief.
