Ah, translating/explaining Shakespeare! Always fun!

The general meaning of the passage is simply that Hamlet is considering whether or not it is better to simply allow life to deal the problems that come with bad luck, or to fight against it.

Nobler here means "showing more signs of honour or courage".

Thank you.

This is quite difficult. Is there a way that I can understand these kind of texts?

Take my word for it - many English speakers struggle to understand Shakespeare. It's written in very old English and is also quite poetic. Generally, plays are much easier to understand when they're actually performed as you have scenery, costume, props etc to help you!
