Question

the tragedy of hamlet, prince of denmark
act v. scene i.
a churchyard.
enter two clowns, with spades and mattock.
first clown: is she to be buried in christian burial that wilfully seeks her
own salvation?
second clown: i tell thee she is; and therefore make her grave straight:
the crowner hath sat on her, and finds it christian burial.
first clown: how can that be, unless she drowned herself in her own
defence?
second clown: why, ’tis found so.
first clown: it must be se offendendo; it cannot be else. for here lies the
point: if i drown myself wittingly it argues an act; and an act hath three
branches; it is, to act, to do, and to perform: argal, she drowned herself
wittingly.
second clown: nay, but hear you, goodman delver,—
first clown: give me leave. here lies the water; good; here stands the
man; good: if the man go to this water, and drown himself, it is, will he,
nill he, he goes; mark you that? but if the water come to him, and drown
him, he drowns not himself: argal, he that is not guilty of his own death
shortens not his own life.
read the summary of a theme that is developed in hamlet, particularly in the
beginning of act v of hamlet.
it’s obvious that everyone is going to die someday, so people should
just get over themselves and realize we’re all the same in the end.
what is the best way to revise the summary accurately and objectively?
embracing death is a good idea.
people all die at some point.
equality only happens in death.
death is the great equalizer.

Explanation:

The original summary says everyone dies someday and we're all the same in the end. "Death is the great equalizer" captures both the inevitability of death and the equality it brings, objectively and accurately, unlike the other options which either lack objectivity (e.g., "Embracing death is a good idea") or only partially capture the theme (e.g., "People all die at some point" misses the equality aspect, "Equality only happens in death" is less concise and slightly distorted).

Answer:

Death is the great equalizer.
