Oberon met Bottom, denied maidens, and popped the question (2,2,2,3,2,2)
I believe the answer is:
to be or not to be
'met bottom denied maidens and popped the question' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'oberon' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'oberon' is 'obeorn' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for to be or not to be that I've seen before include "Shall I commit suicide?" , "Mel Brooks' 1983 remake? That is the question!" , "Hamlet's question (2,2,2,3,2,2)" , "Famous line from Hamlet (2,2,2,3,2,2)" , "It was the question for 13 (2,2,2,3,2,2)" .)
