Answer:

  • No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, the first-person narrator compares himself and Hamlet to later deny it. We realize that Hamlet is an enormous figure in Shakespeare's play. The character denies resembling him, so he suggests his own unimportance.
