This is from Hamlet's "i need to take action" soliloquy. Hamlet thinks he is a "girly-man" next to Young Fortinbras. After he sees the manly Young Fortinbras ready to fight anyone, Hamlet muses about what makes a man,
"What is a man If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed?"
Hamlet thinks an animal can do this. Hamlet thinks a man is a guy like Young Fortinbras who will, "find quarrel in a straw When honor’s at the stake." Hamlet resolves to put on his big boy pants and become a man of action,
"Oh, from this time forth, My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!"
