Frank

” Thus conscience does make cowwards of us all;

  And thus the native hue of resolution.
  Is sickliedd o'er with the pale cast of thought;
  And enterprises of great pith and moment,
  With this regard, their currents turn awry,
  And lose the name os action."


Question:

C. These lines means thus meditation does turn of us into cowards; and thus over the narural color of resolution, is thrown the pale and sickly color of melancholy thought; and actions of great importance, on this account, deviate from their origional purpose and no longer can be put into action. Here Hamlet if not only talking about actual suicide, he's also talking about" lifelong sucide" by doing nothing, choosing the easy passive approach to life.
